Massive THANK YOU - charity fund-raiser 27th Feb 2015 

As you will have read and seen the invitation from Yvonne Gormley on 27 February. The charity fund-raiser was held and it was a lovely afternoon which was basked in 'near' spring like sunshine. 

Yvonne opened her beautiful home to us ladies and allowed us to tour her new house.  A few ladies wanted to move in but were turfed out at 5pm as Yvonne had other plans for the evening. 

The Prosecco flowed (she certainly knows the way to my heart!) and Yvonne had some beautiful cakes made especially for the occasion.  Monies raised for the charity totalled £85 on the day with a few donations pending from ladies who could not make the event but still wanting to make a contribution.  

I have said a massive THANK YOU to Yvonne but extend it to all those who supported the event.   'Little and often' is my motto for the charity this year and I am constantly amazed at your generosity.  It was nice also to see everyone in a social atmosphere where topics of conversation were not just about golf! 

I include a few photos from the afternoon and send you each a massive hug.

Diary changes and confirmed NEW EVENTS FOR 2015 

**New events for 2015 **

Mixed Easter Fun - 6 April 2015  

We will hold an Easter Mixed fun competition on Bank Holiday Monday.   

Sally Payne has kindly sponsored this event. Prizes are Easter Egg to round off the Easter Weekend break.  Monies raised including entry fee and nearest the pin will go to the lady captains charity. 

A sign up sheet has been posted on the mixed notice board.  Please contact Gill Newson for any details. 

Ladies Invitation Day confirmed 7 July 2015  

As many of you know it has been my intention to host a Ladies Invitation Day at West Malling. I am thrilled that we can fit one into our busy calendar and the the management are happy to support this day. I know this event was run some years ago but it would be great to welcome some of our golfing friends to the club as I know like me you get invites to other such events. 

I am posting a sign up sheet in the notice board now so I can gauge how popular this event will be so that we can accommodate as many ladies as possible. Please sign up once you have a confirmed guest. 

Entry will be £35 

this will include - Guest green fee / High Tea and Prizes following a 18 hole Pairs Stableford Betterball & Team 'Pink Lady' Competition. Prizes will be awarded to 1st & 2nd Pair and also best ‘Pink Lady’ team. 

If you have any ideas for the day I am more than happy to consider as if supported it could become a regular event in our busy summer calendar.   

End of the golfing season - Ladies Section Thanksgiving 26 November 2015  

It seems a long way off and I am really not wishing away the year but I would like to invite all ladies to a special Thanksgiving night in November.  It will coincide with Thanksgiving in the States and details will be confirmed later in the year.   

Basics - All Ladies will be welcomed to the club by myself and the committee and greeted with a glass of Prosecco.  We are planning to kick off the night at 7.30pm and finish no later than 11pm. 

We will have a celebration and presentation of sorts of us as a section.   I do hope we can celebrate our highs from the year and give thanks.   So watch this space but in the meantime please add to your busy diaries and block the time out.   It will be a smart affair and I am hopeful you can all dust off your Little Black Dresses and bring a bit of glam to our surroundings. 

           from your Lady Captain

Friendly Matches for 2015 

Lisa Kiddie has posted the sign up sheet for the friendly matches scheduled this year so please sign up.   Our first match is a  week day fixture which is new to our calendar AWAY to Westerham.   

Hopefully we will continue to field strong teams and carry on the spirit of the days which I know we were very successful last year. Contact Lisa if you need any further details as she will be liaising with the clubs for arrangement on the day. 

A change to a fixture is Away to St Augustines in September. We have agreed to play this match on Saturday 26 September so please change this in your diaries. The previous date clashed with the popular Bearstead mixed open.

Competitions in March 

In order to make the competition qualifiers we have to continue to have our medals and stableford competitions held on the Hurricane. This means sadly we cannot do a 9 hole competition. Competitions affected this month are: 

10/3 & 14/3 :       9 hole stableford which will now be an 18 hole stableford on the Hurricane 

17/3 & 21/3         EWGA Medal which will be played on the Hurricane 

All other competitions remain as published in the diary. 

I will speak to the committee at the next meeting with a proposal to schedule some additional 9 holes comps later in the year to ensure that these can be included as the eligible cards. An update will be published here on the blog and on the noticeboard. 

Work on the Spitfire continues and I will update with any developments as and when I hear.
