"The best laid plans etc etc" - it didn't matter how many revisions we made to try to play golf on Thursday, the weather beat us in the end. Oh well, there's always next year.
In spite of the inclement weather, we had a thoroughly enjoyable day indoors. Many of our members played "games" during the morning, followed by about 60 of our members enjoying Christmas lunch together. The Christmas "spirit" was evident.
Our President, Carole, thanked all members of staff for their assistance during the year and small gifts were also given to the green staff by the Committee.
Mention was also made by Helen Chadwick of Barbara Westwood (who was unable to be present) and her untiring efforts with new members and the grounds around the Clubhouse. This was roundly applauded.
Pam Barker was kind enough to donate her Christmas pudding for a raffle, with the resultant funds of $216 going towards the cost of the lunch.
A collection was also taken for the Rainbow of the Southern Highlands to be given to them for local children.
Thankyou to all our members for being so supportive.
Last but not least - who could forget the entertainment?? Give Sandy Short a stage and she will give us a performance to remember!!
The "players" of note were Anne Geddes, Anne Keys, Sandy, and Faye Frith - their performance was so memorable and will be talked about for a while to come!!!
Not to forget the wonderful voice of Uschi Eriksson - we are full of admiration for her performance - especially when there is no background music to assist her.
All in all a great day - hopefully it is the precursor to many happy days in the new year.
Happy Christmas to all and your families
Jill Scott
