LOTTERY SATURDAY 13TH FEBRUARY 2016

No winners this week

What a quiet month on the golfing front we’ve had, the courses having been closed for a few days due to the weather.  I’m actually proud of the fact that I have completed 2 stableford cards - just 4 to go! 

So I have used this month for a bit of planning and preparation.

I attended the club council meeting on behalf of the ladies section and management will be putting out some details of plans for the courses regarding drainage for the 1st (Spitfire) and a schedule for the Hurricane once dates have been confirmed; you may have noticed work has started on what was the old 5^th already.

Eric Payne has announced a new competition for the club – ‘Intersociety’ which will take place on Sunday 22^nd May.  Ladies section is classed as a society.   I believe the top scores (possibly top 5 entries per society) will determine who wins – bring on the challenge!

We had a ‘Meet and Greet’ on the 10^th January and 3 new lady members came along – Thank you to Pat West, Jane Woodward, Gill Newson, Carol Eldridge, Lesley Shott and Shirely Miller for giving up your Sunday Morning - the meeting was very comprehensive and we look forward to welcoming Anne, Jane and Vicky playing with us over the next few months.

There will also be 2 mixed friendly matches added to the diary – Westerham and Nizels. 

Malcolm and I will shortly be putting a list of dates up for the ‘2 Captains Challenge. The sign-up sheet will be in the corridor near the pro shop and the coffee machine. For a donation to our charity, Spadework, we would love to take on as many members as possible for some fun golf and plenty of ‘banter’ and  this will be an ongoing event throughout our year so please do sign up at some stage.

Spadework are very happy to host two ‘Afternoon Tea’s in their coffee shop.  Dates are confirmed for Saturday 16^th April and Tuesday 19^th April – The sign-up sheets are in the ladies changing room.

The Overnighter has been a great success with 24 confirmed ladies for Stoke by Nayland in September- well done Georgina.

First Valentine’s Competition was held on Tuesday and the sun did come out for us - as we reached the 18^th green!  Well done to Diana Scott and Carol Eldridge for their magnificent score of 39 points followed closely by Sue Stickland and Sue Gofton with 37 points.  The winner of BOTH nearest the pins was Jane Woodward.

Good luck to our ladies that have signed up for the second Valentine’s Competition this Saturday.

The updated diary will be published and copies put in the changing room over the next couple of weeks.  As soon as it becomes available, the amendments will be posted on the blog.

Hopefully the weather will turn soon – Happy golfing ladies!

Diabetes Centre Cheque presentation

 Ladies

On Wednesday (the 13th)  I was joined by Lisa, Carol Eldridge, Joe & Julie Harris and Lee at the Diabetes Centre at Darent Valley.

The specialist diabetes centre staff gave us a warm welcome for the presentation of the cheques from the fundraising of my chosen charity for 2015.
As usual I didn't know what to expect but as in all adventures the time at the centre was lovely.

We gave a bit of background to why this was the chosen cause, we then had a quick interview conducted by their comms team and then had to take part in a photo call. More importantly we saw what some of the monies already received had been spent on - a clinic room for drugs admin has been refurbed with new desking and 2 new computers - it is simple but real and has made a huge difference to the team. Other items are being ordered from the wish list and individuals from the team spoke to us individually which was fantastic.

We made the newsletter and various social media feeds following our visit and I share with you a photo.

Saying thanks doesn't seem enough for the support shown by the section for charity across the board but having the opportunity to nominate 2 great causes last year was a privilege I am sure I won't repeat this.

The cheques to Macmillan for the Maidstone oncology unit will be sent shortly and I will share any updates I receive via Lisa.

The final total for 2015 was £12,850 - more than amazing, and we all contributed to that.

Biggest hugs to you all in 2016 - I am enjoying seeing Lisa as our new lady captain and look forward to getting back out on
the course as the weather permits.

Biggest hugs
Georgina

Charity Cheque presentation - Diabetes Centre Darent Valley Hospital 13/1

Ladies 

I have been invited to the Diabetes Centre at Darent Valley Hospital next week to meet the team and present the cheque from monies collected for the charity during 2015. 

If anyone would like to come  and join me then let me know. I know numbers will be limited but need to confirm early next week. It would be nice to have some ladies there if possible. 

Apologies for short notice but the unit have a monthly team meeting and my diary is a little hectic but I can make it work and have only just confirmed. 

It will be a nice thing to do to close off the amazing fundraising too.

Lady Captains Report January 2016

What a busy period we’ve had since our last committee meeting.

I would like to congratulate Georgina on rounding up her Captains year with our ‘Thanksgiving’ I loved the idea as soon as Georgina mentioned it.  I personally think it’s a fabulous way to spend the evening reminiscing over the past 12 months – we had a great turn out and lots of laughter! So, it’s in the diary for this year. 

Looking at the ladies diary for 2016, we will have plenty of opportunities to make some great memories, so please, please, please send me photos during the year of any events, birthdays, away days, opens winners or just fun times you would like to share with the rest of us next November.

29^th November 2015 was our AGM.

Draft Minutes of this meeting will be published in due course but the main changes:

Gill Newson stepped down as Mixed Competition Secretary after a very successful 3 years in the post.  Thank you very much for making the competitions great fun – and good luck to Shirley stepping into Gill’s shoes.

I would like to take this opportunity of welcoming our new committee members-

Diana Scott – Handicap Assistant

Jill Gambling – Kent Rep

Donna Chuter – Mixed Competition Assistant

Rena Jones – Social Secretary

Gill Newson was off the committee for approximately 5 minutes before coming back on as Vice-Captain!  Thank you very much for accepting the role and I am looking forward to sharing my year with you and I know you’re going to make a fabulous Captain come November.

We now have a grand total of 13 enthusiastic members on our Committee. Whilst this is probably one of the biggest we’ve ever had – I am so grateful for the support.

I am also proud to announce my chosen Charity for this year as Spadework – This is an organisation that is local to West Malling and I have put together a brief summary of what they are about:

The aim of Spadework is to enable adults between the age of 18-65 with learning disabilities (Trainees) to develop their independence and personal skills through being involved. The Trainees produce the plants that are sold in the Garden Centre and the fruit and vegetables served in the café and sold in the Farm Shop; they help to make cakes, jams and chutneys and serve customers in the café and in the Farm Shop. They also have woodwork, craft and IT facilities.

The Garden Centre, Farm Shop and café are all open each day to the general public, which enables the trainees to interact with the customers, helping to improve their social skills, which in turn can increase their confidence and self-esteem.

Volunteer trainees will be visiting the golf club this year with the view of helping us in some major events.  This will raise awareness and hopefully some of our members will pop into Spadework to see what they have to offer.

We also had the Christmas Lunch, the Mixed Christmas Competition, and the Swinging 60’s in December.

What a great turn out on New Year’s Day!

Thank you to all who came to celebrate the New Year and the official handover of the Men’s Captain.  Malcolm Roberts announced his Vice Captain - Roy Allen, congratulations!  Malcolm will also be supporting Spadework as his chosen charity this year and we have lots of joint events lined up – more details to follow as the season picks up.

The rain stayed away to allow the first Putt out at West Malling - the final farewell to Georgina and Russ – Congratulations for a job well done!

Malcolm and I completed the drive in and carried on the festivities with friends and family over lunch. Together we have already raised over £1,000 for Spadework – so thank you very much for your generosity!!!

That just leaves me to wish you all a happy and healthy 2016!!!!!
