The four competitions were vigorously contested and I was delighted to see so many ladies playing the 9 hole on Friday. Congratulations to the winners. Thanks to everyone who prepared the course the clubhouse and helped organise the evening event and of course the beautiful day was the icing on the cake.It was great to see so many people gathered in the clubhouse and enjoying the celebrations.Unfortunately our President Mary was unable to attend but I know she was with us in spirit.
