The manufacturers/industry team captain for the annual Triangular Cup golf competition, Charles Pieters, has retired. He is replaced by Grafton Optical managing director Brian Bowles.

The competition has been played for since 1961 by three teams consisting of optometrists, dispensing opticians and the optical industry/manufacturers.

'Charles has been at the helm for as long as one can remember where he has led the industry to victory more times than the optometrists and DOs,' said Bowles.

The manufacturers/industry team won this year's competition at Tadmartin Heath near Banbury with a close run result.

Bowles lists golf as one of his 'main passions' and 'very much hopes to live up to the leadership qualities and results of Charles'.
