I was delighted to welcome fifty-seven ladies to our Christmas Lunch on Friday - we all enjoyed a delicious meal with much laughter and festive cheer. I am very grateful to the hospitality team for attending to us so well: Tina, Colin, Clayton, Jayvin, & Innes in the kitchen; Greg & Dylan behind the bar; and our servers Carrie, Danni, Ryley & Lucy. My thanks are also due to Sean & Nicky in the office for printing my promotional posters and menus.
During lunch we scratched our heads over a cryptic quiz prepared by Heather, revived our musical memories with questions prepared by Anne and answered Christmas Queries set by Pauline. Shirley Irvine found herself in the lucky seat before we learnt some fun facts about the Committee combined with a Fact or Fiction elimination game.
Many thanks to Anne for making her delicious confectionery, and to Marion Kay for making up the bags so beautifully – I am delighted to say that from proceeds of the sale of confectionery, raffle tickets and additional cash donations, we have raised £880 for Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance.
I am extremely grateful for your support and generosity.
The draw for the hampers was made after lunch, with Ruth Watson winning the main prize, John McMahon and George Pople the smaller hampers, and Heather Welsh and Jean Laburn taking the bottles and champagne truffles home. Huge thanks to everyone that contributed by donating wicker hampers and items to fill them with, to everyone that purchased tickets and to the bar team that sold so many for me.
Finally, a big thank you to my Vice Captain Maggie together with all the Committee members who worked hard to make the day a success and to everyone for coming along 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 I look forward to seeing you on the course or in the clubhouse soon.
