MEMBERS GET-TOGETHER 14/03/2013

What great fun we had at the Members Get-together 2013!  The Lady Captain introduced Isobel Harvey and husband Tom who treated  us to a hilarious account of their cycle trip from Lands End to John o' Groats.  Isobel is a born raconteur, mixing up songs with  chat and quirky quiz questions, keeping everyone entertained from start to finish.
It was a very pleasant evening and so nice to catch up with members, old and new.

RAINED OFF.....

The weather had the last laugh today, with heavy rain and wind making playing conditions very unpleasant, so it was no surprise that there were NO takers for golf.  The Winter League and Stanley Clark  are now complete, and the winners will be announced shortly.

The Lady Captain would like to remind everyone that the Members Evening takes place on Thursday 14th March, 6.30pm  for a welcome drink, followed by a one course meal and coffee at 7.00pm.  We shall then hear the account of Isobel Harvey's  cycle trip from John o' Groats to Lands End.  This is a mixture of slides, quizzes,  audience participation, surprises and prizes.  It promises to be  FUN. Tickets, price £7.50, from the caterers.  If you will not be at the Club before Thursday, please phone (01250) 872622  to reserve a ticket.

END OF WINTER LEAGUE AND LADIES BRIDGE

The last session of the Ladies Afternoon Bridge takes place on  March 12th. Despite the disruptions over the winter, due to  snow and the refurbishment of the clubhouse,  we have had  good turn-outs for bridge, so please come along for a final  fling with the cards on Tuesday.

The  Stanley Clark Competition and Winter League end on Friday (March 8th).  The weather forecast is looking rather desperate, but  do come to the clubhouse to sign up for the  various Knock-outs, and the Friendly Matches. Bring your diaries, there are 16 Matches!   Over the next two weeks there will be FUN competitions - Mad March Medley and a Texas Scramble...just enough to tune you up for the Ladies Captain versus Vice-Captain on March 29th

Tickets for the Ladies Get-together  on Thursday March 14th  are available from the caterers, priced £7.50.  If you can't make it to the Club before then, please phone (01250) 872622  to reserve a ticket.
