Head Teachers and Directors of International schools from all over the world attended and although there were a few drop out at the last minute the event was well attended. This years event featured participants from Cuba, Peru, Nigeria, Dubai, Oman, Thailand, KL, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and many other locations so it proved a good event for people to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

In unbelievably good weather conditions the players teed off on the Lakes coarse and once again there was a mixed bag of play to say the least! Once again the event was won by John Gwyn Jones headteacher of St Christopher's School in Penang with the runner up Rob Jones headteacher of Colegio EuroAmericano Peru. There were individual prizes for longest drive, eventually won by Richard Phillips from Hong Kong and nearest the pin, eventually won by Chris Vis from Oman.
