Blairgowrie Ladies Social Evening March 17th 2011

Please note in your diary the date for the Blairgowrie Ladies Social Evening. It will be an evening filled with surprises-an evening of SHENANIGANS. A chance to meet new members and catch up with old friends after the long winter. It will not be a quiz evening as advertised, but be prepared for anything! The evening will start at 7:00 pm and there will be a finger buffet with tea and coffee. Tickets will be available from the bar. Also, as it is St Patrick's day, don't forget to wear something green.

Sad Passing of Liz Miskimmin

It is with great sadness to report that Liz Miskimmin died last night, Saturday February 5th. After a brave battle against cancer she finally passed away peacefully. Liz was a great figure in Perthshire Ladies Golf. She had been President of the County and the Midland Vets and also had been a director of the SLGA where she chaired the Selectors. She was a super lady loved by all and will be sorely missed. The funeral will take place on Friday 18th February at Perth Crematorium at 2pm.

Christmas Lunch 2010

Despite all the bad weather, 55 ladies managed to attend the Christmas Lunch. For many it was their first outing after having been stuck indoors for so many days! The day was a great success and enjoyed by all. It was the first opportunity for us to taste the delicious cooking of Paul Bjormark and we were all well looked after by Jane, Mari and Hannah. The dining room was beautifully decorated with stunning balloons which added to the festive atmosphere.

As a result of a decision taken by the Annual Meeting, Secret Santa presents were not exchanged, but donations were generously given to two charities: PKU and Pancreatic Cancer. Nearly £300.00 was raised for these two worthy causes.

The highlight of the luncheon was when the Ladies Committee entertained everyone with the Blairgowrie version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas". It proved to be so popular that everybody sang it again! Events were rounded off with a Christmas quiz. To see the pictures of the day, just click on the slideshow on the right.
