LADIES CHAMPIONSHIPS

Ladies, can you please note that all Ladies Championships will be played on Lansdowne this year,  therefore all preliminary rounds should be on Lansdowne unless there are no other times available when, by mutual arrangement,  a tie  may be played on Rosemount.  The Draws are on the main club web-site.

Please also note that the  Medal and IMF Brooch Competitions will be played on Rosemount this week - June 6th - and NOT  Lansdowne as is stated in the Fixture List.  The on-line booking shows Rosemount, which is correct.
