Captain's Dinner

Ladies,

A note for your diaries - We've had lots of enquires about the following event and I certainly don't want any of our ladies missing out!!!!!

Tickets for the Captains Dinner on Saturday 19th November will be going on sale by the 1st week in September.

Malcolm and I are very much looking forward to hosting this evening with a live band and making it a night to remember as our last official joint event as Captains together.

Whilst there will not be an official dress code we do believe 'Glitz and Glam' would be nice.

IMPORTANT:

Tickets will be £40 per person which will include a 3 course meal.  However, we are selling per table of 10.

Therefore, please work out who's on your table and the office will take full payment.

Selling of the tables is strictly on a 'first come first served basis'

Lady Captains Report for July

Malcolm and I hosted our first ‘Captains 9 and Dine’ on Friday 8^th July. We started off at 16:00hrs – a mixed group of ladies and gentlemen in 3 balls who completed 9 holes on the Spitfire and 26 of us went for a Fish & Chip Supper and prize giving at the Duke of Wellington in Ryarsh.

Everyone enjoyed the event and as requested we will try to fit in another evening before the nights start drawing in.

We also had the Captains Day on Sunday 10^th July and whilst the weather wasn’t at its best we had a great day and thank you all for your generous donations as we raised over £1,800 for the charity!

Congratulations:             1^st Sally Payne

                                    2^nd Lindsay Hart

                                    3^rd Diana Scott

Then great results for the ladies over the weekend that saw the Ladies Section taking on the Pegasus Society.

7 pairs of ladies signed up for the challenge with plenty of banter and laughter throughout the games.

Thank you to Carol Eldridge and Eric for setting up camp on the 6^th hole of the Hurricane and supplying us with beers, pims and snacks – which was very much appreciated and nice to see Carol looking so well!

We were back out on the course again on the Sunday for the Inter-Society competition set up by Steve Mackintosh.  I think it’s a great idea of mixing up West Malling Societies and a chance to meet new people! We also raised £190.00 for Spadework – Thank you!!!

Guess what Ladies…………… We won!!! Beating the Merlins, Breakfast Club, Pegasus, Dumbledores and the Nomads – Congratulations to Lydia Doherty for winning the highest score with 39 Stableford points.

Thursday 28^th the long awaited ‘Quintet of Octogenarians’.  I am a very proud Lady Captain to be part of such an occasion.  A lovely afternoon tea celebrating with Vicky Richardson, Judy Kay, Joan Vernon, Margret Barnard and Pat Leadbetter.  The ladies are a real credit to our section.  A big thank you to our Joycie Paterson for overseeing and organising the event – and a beautiful cake made by Peggy Baker.

The last weekend in July and the Club Championship took place – first day on the Spitfire, second day on the Hurricane.  Well done and congratulations to this year’s Nett winner Gina Wilson and our Lady Club Champion winner Julie Harris.

Next weekend brings a new event to our calendar - The West Malling Ryder Cup!

Club Captain and myself are taking on Vice Captain Roy Allen and Lady Vice Captain Gill Newson in this team event.  4BBB on the Saturday followed by 2 ball Texas Scramble on Sunday! Competitors are ready to go and don’t forget your team colours!!!

The Breakfast Club 72 hole golf challenge has raised an incredible £12,104.75 with Gift Aid!

A massive amount of money for our local charity

This year’s Ladies Open is full!  Thank you all for promoting this event when taking part in friendly matches and Opens.  If you are available and can spend a few hours as a volunteer please could you sign up in the Ladies Changing room.

Please don’t forget to sign up for the Lady Captains Away day on the 6^th September also.  It is being held at Nizels Golf Club in Hildenborough this year.  Afternoon tea included.
