      Ladies Get Together

13^th March 2026

I am delighted to announce that my guest speaker for this evening is Carla Sutherland.  Carla is well known in this area and also nationally for her skills in physiotherapy and sports injury.

Carla, since graduating from Glasgow University in 1998, worked for five years in the NHS sector gaining invaluable experience in disciplines too many to list.  She established her business in 2009 and fully on her own in 2013.  Post COVID she rebranded as Revive Physiotherapy and Well Being with her staff offering many different therapies.

Her specialised treatment skills are in sport.  She has worked with athletes in the Commonwealth Games and the Junior and Senior hockey teams for the European matches, not to mention the Edinburgh Rugby Club and the Tayside Institute of Sport. 

She is a keen sports woman herself doing road and hill running and is a qualified Ski Patroller.  Wow! What a spec!

It should be an interesting evening with a few practical demonstrations.

Come along and enjoy!

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.
