Presentation Night and Christmas Dinner Newsletter

Dear Ladies

A very Happy and Blessed New Year to all of you. We had a very successful presentation night in November when Bev and Keith, captains of 2011 presented their cheques to Sandville and Ty Olwen.  I have posted pictures of those of you who have responded to my email being presented with your prizes. Very well done to all of you particularly to our Lady Champion Cheryl Western. We had a few hitches on the night but who says Life has to be perfect. We all learn all the time ( or we should!)

I will post the pictures taken at the Christmas dinner when I have had the nod from all of you in the pictures. We had a fun night with me reading out the poem ‘Gladys’ kindly supplied by Sue C. Hopefully you will see a copy of this in the locker room soon by way of a laminated poster and be reminded to avoid slow play at all times on the course and to show great consideration to fellow golfers.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal on 9 December with an encouraging turnout (thanks to Amy and the staff at the Grove) after which we were pleased to receive our gifts from Secret Santas. We were then entertained by Irene reading an hilarious story about Lindercella, Irene, Pauline and Sheila doing a miners song in fancy dress followed by Anne and Sonia’s take on a technically advanced fruit and veg vendor. We were all well entertained and had a good laugh. I hope that you all enjoyed the evening as much as I did. Thanks again  for your kind participation.

Watch this space for some news and pictures of the Christmas swim. Thank you for your kind sponsorship of Ashley who bravely swam on my behalf. Also my thanks go to Clive Heatman, his son-in-law Tom and Mike Scully who all swam too. Thanks to Bev and Sonia for their support on the morning (and Ladies who I might not have seen at the swim). Thanks also to those of you who donated money in lieu of Christmas cards which will go to my chosen charity, Portage Bridgend. I will let you know how much was donated once I have all the information.

See you all soon. Love and kind regards, Shirley Isaacs
