Lady Captain's Day

What a fabulous day I had!

A GIG event the evening before followed by 18 and 9 hole competitions on the
day itself. There were many prizes to be played for with Jude Moore winning
the Captains salver.

The tent was manned throughout the day by husband John and Captain Jim,
who organised other helpers to assist in the tent and as starters.
I hosted the Ladies Committee for a delicious lunch and then the ladies who no
longer golf, came for afternoon tea. It included 5 past Captains, the oldest
being 93. What inspirations.

Prior to the evening presentation John entertained us playing tunes on his
saxophone. It was a great turn out for both the golf and for the presentation
and the Club had a lovely busy and bustling vibe.

My charity for the day was The Owl Tree Café on Kingston Park Road a charity
close to my heart and also close to the Golf Club. Thanks to the generosity of
the ladies we raised £490 which will be greatly appreciated.

I really enjoyed the day and thank you to all who helped to make it a success.

Photographs from the day have been put on the website.

Lady Captain Report - February 2023

Our Captains shotgun went ahead having been cancelled in October because of the weather. It was fully signed up to with 108 players taking part and raised £378 for Feeding Families.

Following that our next event was the coffee morning held on the 14th February. This was a massive success with £800 raised for the Ladies Section, way beyond our expectations. At the busiest point in the morning Michael counted 160 people in the clubhouse. So many thanks to give- To Liz and Sharon who were the driving force to once again hold a coffee morning, to the ladies committee and cake makers without whom we wouldn’t have been able to host it. To those who came with arts and crafts and made very generous donations from the sales, and for husband John for playing his saxophone.

Our next event is International Women’s Day on the 8th March. Come along from 6pm for a complimentary glass of fizz. Meet friends for a chat, take part in the quiz or come for your tea. Bar meals will be available until 8pm. It is all about embracing what we are and what we do in the workplace, in the home for family and how we support our friends when times get tough. Come and meet your friends or make new friends.

Tickets have gone on sale for the Captains Dinner Dance. Saturday 25 th March £27 for a 3 course meal and live music. Please come along I’m sure it will be a great night.

Ladies Committee Dinner

A wonderful night at the Ladies Committee Dinner.  Thanking the ladies for the hard work they do and the time they give to making our ladies section the success it is today.  We raised a glass to the friendships made and the support we provide to each other.  The food and service we had was outstanding. 

A huge thank you to you all from Barbara.

The Lost King

Thank you to my Vice Captain Sharon White who arranged for Philippa Langley MBE to talk to our ladies section about her involvement in finding and exhuming King Richard the third. It was a fantastic afternoon with great feedback received. It was followed by a book signing.  Philippa is a truly inspirational and determined woman. Thank you for coming!

Regards, Barbara
