Vice Captains Report
The annual Pre-season Lunch was recently held at The North Berwick Golf Club. The house was full with 63 ladies in attendance, the maximum number that the dining room could accomodate. The pre lunch glass of fizz went down well with all and judging by the noise levels by the time all were seated in the dining room, everyone was enjoying themselves.
The Captain, Dawn Young, welcomed members and guest speaker to the 8th lunch and expressed thanks to previous Captain, Cynthia Guthrie, and her committee, for being the instigators of such a good idea. She also thanked Barbara for organising the day so well.
Grace was said by our President Carol MacLeod after which all present enjoyed a delicious lunch and thanks were given to Alex and her catering staff.
The speaker on the day was Cathy Panton-Lewis who gave a very witty and interesting speech about her amateur golf including memories of playing against East Lothian when she played for Stirling and Clackmannanshire. She also had many entertaining stories of her experiences in the early years of ladies professional golf and her involvement in setting up the LET. Cathy pointed out how there was great camaraderie in those early days and as well as being serious on course lots of fun was had off course! It was a pleasure to listen to those treasured memories especially when they were presented by one so modest.
A raffle was held on the day and the star prize of a voucher for Archerfiled Spa was won by Margaret Taylor, Dirleton Castle GC. Other prizes won on the day were golf lessons from Martyn Huish and Alastair Good, a box of golf balls and two ELLCGA fleece neckwarmers. The raffle raised £330 which will be used to further Junior Golf within the County. Many thanks to all who contributed.
There are a selection of photographs below from the day and thanks go to Susan Penman for taking these.
