Forty ladies attended the Christmas lunch yesterday and there was much laughter and Christmas cheer to be had. As I said before lunch, I was afraid that this event might never happen, following the departure of our caterers, Gary & Elaine, and with the ever-increasing threat of the Omicron variant.
I am grateful to Tina and her team in the kitchen for preparing a very enjoyable lunch. Big thanks also go to Carrie, Sean-Paul, Dani and Dylan for serving us, keeping the drinks flowing and generally helping things run smoothly, under Stuart's watchful eye. They are a young team, some of whom have recently joined the club or have taken on new roles, and they are to be commended for their energy and enthusiasm.
Heather Dawson devised a fun Christmas quiz which got us all thinking and chatting and the winning table (hosted by Sue) was presented with chocolate Santas. Mary Miller won the 'lucky seat' prize.
The draw for the Food Hamper was made after lunch and I was delighted that Janette Hamilton was the lucky winner. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to the hamper and bought raffle tickets. I am delighted to say that we raised £220 for the Perth & Kinross Foodbank.
Mary Miller entertained us with her 'stand up-sit down' and 'heads and tails' elimination games and Mary Hope rounded off proceedings with a humorous Christmas poem.
Thanks to Margaret Hunter, who applied her photography (and photoshopping!) skills in putting together the montage which you see in the previous blog.
Finally, a big thank you to the Committee members who worked hard to make the day a success and to all of you for coming 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 look forward to seeing you on the course or in the clubhouse soon.
