Ladies Noticeboard

On Tuesday the 19th February after the Ladies nine hole competition, we all gathered together for lunch.

We had fine weather and a good turnout for our golf outing.

After lunch, Mary ( last years Lady Captain ), presented a cheque for £1535.15 to the charity Kidney Research UK. Jeanette Wild, a representative accepted it on their behalf and gave a speech of acceptance.

Well done Mary.

On Thursday afternoon 22 ladies enjoyed The Committee and Past Lady Captain's Lunch.

It was attended by past Lady Captain's Liz Black, Christine Copeland, Margaret Ford, Joan Royal, and Anne Thornber who are no longer members.

Lady President, Marion Hall, proposed a toast to the Ladies section and treated us to a very welcome bottle of wine on the table. This went down a treat!

It was a very enjoyable afternoon with delicious food and great company and a good time was had by all.

A big thank you to Margaret and Jean for organising the event.

Thursday brought the annual Seniors and Wives Lunch. In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, a delicious 3 course meal was enjoyed.

A humerous speech extolling the virtues of wives was given by Graham Davies, after which Lady Captain thanked the Honorary member and Lady President, Margaret and Graham Sumner for organising the event.

A very enjoyable end of season tradition. Long may it continue.

Friday 28th September saw 9 team of ladies and seniors going out in 3's to play in Lady Captain's charity match to raise money for Kidney Research UK

The weather was perfect and the feeling was relaxed and fun. Following the golf, the teams came in for tea and cake, after which the remaining cakes were sold to take home.

Nearly as much money was raised by the cakes as by the golf, which just proves everyone loves cake nearly as much as golf as not one slice of cake remained.

The resounding winners with a terrific score of 43 points were Tracy McGregor, Jo Pratt and Sarah Dwyer who received M&S vouchers.

What a very enjoyable day raising money for a worthy cause. Thanks go to all the people who took part, the ladies who assisted with organising the day and the ladies who baked the absolutely delicious cakes.
