Ladies Golf News

We are EXTREMELY sad that Veena Mali is stepping down from her co-captain role.  She has been fantastic to work with, and we so appreciate all the things she has done for the club, and for the ladies in particular.  She has stepped in whenever and wherever needed. Her knowledge of golf and of the things needed to be done behind the scenes has been particularly appreciated.  She is very organised and switched on!!!  It has been my great privilege to share this role with Veena.  Thanks for everything Veena. I know where to find you J

The raffle and events committee did a wonderful job on the day. We all know who you are!! The room looked fabulous, everyone went home with a Christmas gift and many went home with wonderful raffle prizes.  Thanks to the ladies for the donations, Jenny Bramich for her adornments on the gifts, and Carmel McDougall for her contributions to the gifts.  You are SOOOO greatly appreciated. 

Thanks to Tim for a delicious meal.  We all appreciated it.  And to the bar staff and others who prepared the room for us.  

And thanks to the following for your input throughout the year for the following:

Tania Walsh – for representing us at Board level, for preparing the schedule on the back of the toilet doors.  And for being a good sounding board to run things past.  Also thank you for organising last year's Rich River trip – and the FANTASTIC prizes.

Roberta McQuillan – thanks for so ably managing our Charity and Bowl events.  You do a FABULOUS job, liaising with the clubs, and ensuring the players pay Catherine, and Catherine pays the clubs.

Kaylene Ellis and Ann Wadsley for introducing and running our new St Patricks day fun event.

Yvonne Daniel, Veena Mali & Heather Richards for recruiting men for our mixed events.
