LADIES CHRISTMAS LUNCH 2022


Fifty five ladies attended the Christmas lunch yesterday and there was much laughter and Christmas cheer to be had. It was great to see so many of you there. 

I am very grateful to the kitchen staff, Clayton, Aaron and Jayvin who did a fantastic job in preparing a very enjoyable lunch. Many thanks also go to the bar and waiting staff, Greg, Carrie, Dani and Maddie with help from Nicky, for serving us, keeping the drinks flowing and generally helping things run smoothly, under Stuart's watchful eye.  

Heather Dawson devised a fun Christmas quiz which got us all thinking and chatting and the winning table (hosted by me) was presented with chocolate reindeers and elves. Muriel McPherson won the 'lucky seat' prize.

Vice Captain, Elaine Robson entertained us with her 'hands up' and 'stand up-sit down' elimination Fact or Fiction game about the Committee, which was an eye opener!  

The draw for the Food Hamper was made after lunch, which was won by Bronwen Godley with Maggie Marshall winning the 'mini' hamper. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to the hamper and bought raffle tickets. The amount collected was boosted from the sale of the delicious fudge and tablet that Anne Farquharson had generously made and donated. I am delighted to say that in total we raised £366 for Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance.

Finally, my thanks go to Elaine, Heather and Anne who worked tremendously hard to make the day a success and to all of you for coming and joining in the fun.

We still have more golf to play before Christmas, but I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy Festive Season and look forward to seeing you on the course or in the clubhouse soon.
