Our Autumn Greensome Stableford was held at Costessey Park Golf Club on 12th October 2018. On a very windy Friday morning, 52 ladies from 14 clubs attempted to play the course. Many thanks to our two starters – John Watson on the 1st tee and Club Vice Captain Barry Craske on the 9th – and also to Barbara Warren and Trish Watson at the registration desk. Raffle tickets were sold by Nancy Allen, raising £71 for the Norfolk Junior girls. Our thanks also to Matt Bacon (General Manager) for the information screens in the clubhouse, checking/recording all the results. Not forgetting the catering staff and the greenkeepers for making the day so enjoyable. The sun eventually came out. President Ann Ewer presented prizes.

AUTUMN AMAM AT SWAFFHAM GOLF CLUB ON 17th SEPTEMBER 2018 Report from this year’s organiser, Match Vice Captain Sue Meadows: The entry for this event exceeded all expectations. Entries were received from 40 teams. To use a two tee start for this event, we would only have been able to accept 22 teams, so in order not to disappoint everyone and with the co-operation of Swaffham Golf Club and after consultation with our President and Chairman, we decided to use one tee and make it possible for all 40 teams to participate. Because of the huge entry, it was decided not to have a presentation on the day but winners would be notified by email and the results would be published on the website. In aid of the Norfolk County Juniors, we ran a big raffle which was very favourably received. The pace of play was very good and most teams were round in about four hours. Thanks must be given to a very kind gentleman from Swaffham who acted as car park attendant and to Tony and Ann Ewer who were starters for the day. Unfortunately, the only downfall of the day was for the end of field players whose food was not up to expectations. Overall the day went well and everyone enjoyed the warm pleasant weather.

The Championships – Silver & Bronze Divisions were held at Thetford Golf Club on 18th June 2018. Trish Watson reported that once again we were blessed with a sunny day. The Championships reverted to a start time of 9.00 a.m. but, with league matches and invitation days, the numbers were comparable with last year. 54 players from 17 clubs throughout the county played in the competition: 35 in Silver Division and 19 in Bronze Division, with 35 players entering the Gwen Watts Salver Over 65 competition which ran alongside the Championships. Thanks go to: Helen Ayres and Trish Watson – Registration; Molly Izzard – Raffle; Anne McHarg (Club President) and Margaret Hayward (Ladies’ Captain) – Starters on the 1st and 14th tees; Anne McHarg for checking the scores. Refreshments of roast gammon or vegetarian quiche, accompanied by new potatoes and a variety of vegetables, followed by coffee, were enjoyed by all. Our thanks to Teresa and her staff. After making a contribution to the Ladies’ Captain’s charity, the East Anglian Air Ambulance, the raffle raised £94 for Norfolk Junior Girls. Vets President Ann Ewer presented the prizes
