The outgoing Lady Captain, Marion Underhill, conveyed what an enjoyable and successful year she has had, raising nearly £3,000 for Dorothy House, her nominated charity.

She told us the cheque will be presented to Steph Cox on 19th December. This was followed by the election of new officers for 2018. Lorraine Collings is the new Lady Captain, with Marie Cusworth as Vice-Captain. Carol Marquiss will be the new Secretary, Anne Regler the Handicap Secretary, while Veronica Jefferies continues as Treasurer and Sonia Probert as Competitions Secretary. Pat Pitt and Loes de Kleuver were elected onto the committee.

Also at the AGM the prizes were given out to the monthly Medal and Stableford competition winners. Medal winners: Sarah Doble, Anne Regler(2), Christine Arnold, Loes de Kleuver (3) Sue Sweet, Molly Carey, Anne Kirk, Christina Francis (2), Diana Bullock (2), Gail Painter, Kate Chadwick (2), Marion Underhill (2), Liz Attenborough, Michele Fairweather, Lorraine Collings – Stableford winners: Anne Regler(2), Lorraine Collings (2), Carol Weightman, Veronica Cherry (2), Loes de Kleuver (2), Christina Francis, Marion Underhill (2), Pat Jones, Sue Sweet, Jackie Pudney, Sue Dredge.

Earlier in the month the Ladies ran a fun competition ‘Last of the Summer Whine’, to help raise more money for Dorothy House. Each lady gave a donation to allow them to have a good ‘whine’ during their game of golf. The format was ‘Snakes & Ladders’ where stableford points earned on the ‘ladder’ holes are doubled and if no points are scored on ‘snake’ holes then all stableford points are lost. Quite a challenge! The best score of the day went to Jackie Pudney who achieved 57 points.
