Lady Captain Report – August 2018

A seemingly quiet month for me, although it doesn’t feel that way, so maybe I have missed something critical….

Oh well, there was the small matter of the Ladies Open of course!! Well done Diana on that one – massive thanks to you and all the ladies who helped to make it such a success. All the teams I spoke to said how enjoyable it was, from the signing in table to starters, ball spotters and food.
Many thanks to everyone who helped in all and every way, it really is appreciated.

The raffle raised £416 for My Shining Star, and I only had to replace one raffle prize that was left on a table and snaffled by another person…. Seriously.

Lady Captain’s Away day is just a few days away now and I’m looking forward to that very much, and that’s swiftly followed by the Overnighter – September is a busy golfing month, what with these and the Autumn Meeting also on the horizon.

A few movers and queries and upcoming events:

Joe’s Charity Day. This was planned as usual for the first Sunday in October, unfortunately, the way the calendar has panned out this year, that means it now clashes with a big men’s Whitbread (or Invicta) league thing, so, we have had to move it, as Joe is rather integral to it. It will now be November 18th. Yes, I said November – no dates could be agreed or were available for all relevant parties.

The Ladies v Merlins is in the diary (15 Sep) but I’ve yet to get confirmation on this… I’ll get on it and advise soonest.

The Ryder Cup has yet to be rescheduled, so may fall by the wayside this year – we’re running out of days.

Capt v Secretary (Tue 2 Oct) – I won’t be here (I shall be in Spain) so I’m going to kindly ask Diana if she will be able to be my Captain for this one. I will be back for the Saturday one. And the Committee Cup I’m currently struggling to be here for, so will take views on when we could move this to.

The Wednesday Boys (10 Oct) and the Vets (16 Oct) are the next big challenges the ladies need to focus on…

The Quiz night is still planned for Oct 12 (see previous blog post - now changed to 19th) and I am approaching someone with a view to running it for me – nothing against Jeannette and Bernie, just trying something different.

The Captain’s Ball on 10 November, again, we’re doing something different – an ABBA Tribute. Otherwise, same format, tables of 10, £40 a head, 3 course meal (menu TBC) and £20 a raffle ticket (no tatt for prizes guaranteed!)

There’s bound to be something I forgot, but for now, that’s it from me.
