It gave me great pleasure to welcome the ladies, including some new members, that were able to attend our pre-season Get Together last Friday evening. This was an opportunity to catch up with familiar faces and to make new friends, whilst enjoying a delicious meal prepared and served by Tina and her team.
I ran through the successful winter social and golfing programme which is reaching a conclusion and recorded my thanks to everyone that has been involved either organising, helping, presenting or participating, and announced the results of the Pinehurst competition we had enjoyed earlier in the day, as follows:
Winners - Fiona Edwards & Anne Walker (69) with Cara Davidson & Angela Rooney the runners-up (70).
I touched on the forthcoming season, referring to the Newsletter issued earlier in the week which provides information on all the main events and activities taking place.
Our guest for the evening was Mike Beale, Co-founder and Interim Chair of Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). Mike spoke on the subject of SCAA - 10 years on, giving an informative talk on the history of the charity and examples of situations where the two helicopters and rapid response vehicles have played a crucial part in saving lives.
I then had the greatest pleasure in presenting Mike with a cheque for £825, representing the funds raised by the Ladies section in the past 3 months. Thank you to everyone that has contributed to date, and please note that the draw for the Easter Hamper will take place following the Ladies Captain v Vice Captain competition on Friday 29 March.
Neil Cameron has very generously offered a 20% discount on all ladies clothing to everyone that attended the Get Together, valid until Sunday 31 March, on presentation of your pink discount voucher. Thank you Neil, and also to Greg, Tina, the hospitality team, Pauline and Heather for their help on Friday, to Anne and Maggie for their support in the lead-up to the event, and to everyone that attended.
