LADIES CHRISTMAS LUNCH 6TH DECEMBER 2025

 58 Ladies attended the Annual Ladies Christmas Lunch.  In the foyer Anne Farquharson was selling her confectionery which sold out very quickly.  All sorts of exotic and delicious flavours.  Shirley Lewis our talented stitcher and knitter had a table selling hats, snoods, ball cleaners etc which kept busy as the ladies arrived.   There was a welcome cocktail on arrival and the sales of raffle tickets went on apace.

It was a fun afternoon with much chat and buzz in the dining room.  There was a delicious lunch enjoyed by all.  Three quizzes were set and a lot of head scratching and pleading for clues to the answers.    The quiz winners hosted by Marion Kay on her table Carolyn Haddow, Anne Farquharson,  Jeannie Webster,  Irene Rixson and Sarah, Linda Rice and Eileen McMurray.  The spot prize was won by Fannie Christie. (And for the ladies in the Code Cracker quiz the one that foxed all of you HDC is BP = Hundred Degrees Centigrade is Boiling Point)   

The Vouchers from the Turkey Trot were presented to the winners,  Claire Bidwell and Sue Waddell in Division 1 and Liz Ridsdale and Katie Chapman in Division 2.  The results of Winter League  from 3rd December Hilary Inglis and Ruth Watson was also announced and received golf balls.

All in all it was a lovely afternoon.   The proceeds from the raffle, confectionery and crafts made a fantastic £1260.50 for CHAS.   Unfortunately no photographs were taken of the lunch, I am sad to say, but some were taken beforehand.  Perhaps if one of the ladies did take photographs would you kindly send to the Ladies Captain.
