LADIES AGM

I'm sorry but due to the very poor weather conditions, I have had to cancel tonight's AGM.
I have just been over to the Club and the road conditions are not good. With further snow forecast, as well as ice, I do not want to be responsible for anyone having an accident.
We have re scheduled the meeting for Monday 16th Jan at the same time 7.15 for 7.30pm. 
I hope that as many of you as possible will be able to attend on this new date and once more, please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Joy

XMAS FUN!

Well done to everyone for braving the wind and rain yesterday and playing in the 9 hole Fun Competition.  Perhaps it wasn't quite as much fun as it would have been if the weather hadn't let us down a bit!  The Xmas Golf ball proved a bit of a challenge - not for everyone though, once they lost it, all part of the fun of the day.  It was fantastic to have so many people playing and then even more joining in at lunch time, all dressed for the occasion - 47 is amazing.
The winning team with a score of 41points over 9 holes consisted of Lilias Snodgrass, Anne Nicoll and Gillian Donaghy and the runners up were Karen Binning, Dorothy Simpson and Jennifer Cairns with 38 points. Congratulations to all.  The prize for the best Xmas outfit went to Helen Crichton who came as a wrapped Xmas present complete with gift label!

LADIES ANNUAL DINNER 2016

43 Ladies attended the Annual Dinner at the club last night and, judging by the noise during the evening, a good time was had by all!  The room looked very nice with red napkins on the tables along with attractive little flower posies and the presentation and flavour of the dinner was first class.
The medal prizes were presented at the end of the evening along with prizes for the Fun Competitions held during the season. 
A special presentation was made to Carol Fell recognising her hole in one at the 5th hole.  This is Carol's 7th hole in one - a bit greedy some might say - but very well done.
On checking the following photos, I notice that Lilias decided the wine was too good to leave any behind!!
