Another successful mixed event with 22 couples taking part. It looked at one point as though the competition was going to be called off due to the torrential rain but as the first group stood on the tee, the sun decided to put in an appearance. Most of us managed to play the round with just the odd shower here and there throughout. My heart did go out to the last few groups who had to play the last 3 or 4 holes during a downpour although I know some members (mentioning no names) found this highly amusing! You really do have to lovethe banter on a Sunday during these competitions!! Anyway despite the weather there were some great scores in and the results were:
1st Sara & Peter Burbridge 43 pts
2nd Georgina Venus & Steve Deacon 40pts
3rd Donna & Martin Chuter 39pts
A huge thank you from me to everyone who turned up and played on the day. I'm sure it was very tempting to call off looking at the weather first thing Sunday morning but we only had 2 people pull out and one was because buggies were not permitted which is totally understandable.It was lovely to see Jeff Alback go out with Jean despite not being able to use a buggy and really good to see them back playing in the mixed competitions.

AGM Proposals & Committee Volunteers
Dear Ladies
The AGM will take place on Sunday 1st December 2013.
The proposal form has been placed in the Ladies Changing room along with the form for volunteering to be part of the Committee. Being part of the committee is a great way of learning everything that happens at the club, Ladies Section and improves your knowledge of the rules and the game itself!
The minutes of last year's meeting will be available at the beginning of November. If we have an email address then these will be emailed to you, if we do not have an email address then we will envelope the minutes and agenda and leave the envelopes in a box in the changing room so that you can collect them at your leisure.
Hope to see you on the day.

Thank you!
I just wanted to say a big thank you to those of you that managed to join me for golf, tea and cake to celebrate my birthday.
No it wasn't a birthday with an '0' on the end but I had been planning to hold a coffee morning at some stage, and thought that this was an ideal opportunity to do just that!
We managed 9 holes of golf on the Thursday as it was rather windy and chilly, however, Saturday's weather was much improved so we got a full round in.
I received some lovely birthday cards, thank you and you also managed to raise £52.00 for my charity!
Thanks again!

Lady Captain's Away Day
I arrived at the Tudor Park around 08:15 following a bit of a slow exit off of junction 8of the M20! I had noted the 50 mph signs a few yards back and was just praying that I would be able to get off when I needed to!
Lydia had arrived early so we had breakfast together. I was met by a really helpful Lady who basically took a hold of all my worries for the day and I at last felt at ease.
Our Ladies began to arrive and how wonderful to see 33 of our section take part in the day. I handed out a goody bag and informed the Ladies of the format for the day. There was a very relaxed feel as the Ladies chatted over morning coffee or tea.
At 10:20 the first group set off followed by the ten other groups. The sun was shining but maybe a little humid, alas it was a beautiful day!
On the second tee the Ladies found the bucket full of cans of Pimms on ice and I gather this went down well as lots of you commented on it after your game!!
I got to play with Sadie Millgate and Diana Scott and really enjoyed our round together. The greens were a little speedy but all in all the course was not too bad bearing in mind the amount of dry weather we have had.
After golf we all sat and enjoyed our meal and again it was really lovely to hear the Ladies chatting and enjoying the atmosphere.
There were some great scores in and they went as follows:
Nearest the Pin - Rena Jones
Longest Drive - Caroline Harrison
Mystery Prize - Margaret Barnard - (Secret Holes - top scorer)
Best Team - Lydia Doherty, Carol Eldridge & Denise Farley
Bronze Division
1st - Pat West - 41 points
2nd - Lesley Shott - 39 points
3rd - Stella Pitt - 36 points o/c
Silver Division
1st - Viv Allen - 39 points
2nd - Joyce Paterson - 36 points
3rd - Lydia Doherty - 35 points o/c
Well played to our winners on the day you are all stars, there were some great scores on the day.
My thanks to Lydia, Caroline and Lisa for their assistance on the day!
Ladies I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for joining me on the day and for making it a truly memorable one.
Best Wishes
