| The characters of the On the Buses Fan-club |
The Butler Cup tournament has two categories - Pro and Amateur - as quite a few professional minigolfers are also members of the fan-club! In 2014 Emily won the first edition to feature the Pro category. Brad Shepherd won the 2015 event, while no tournament was held in 2016.

| Playing a very tough plateau obstacle |
The 2017 competition took place on Sunday 24th September and saw 23 players compete in one 18-hole round shoot-out.

| Chris Jones leads off the tournament |
In the Butler Cup contest for Pro players staying at Pontins for the Fan-club Weekender I scored a round of 35(-1) to take the win - a far-cry from my dismal sixth place finish in 2014. Alan 'Stormin' Norman shot a 37 to take the runner-up spot, with Emily in third on 38.
