AmAm held at Wensum Valley on Monday 16 September 2019
NVLGS • September 20, 2019
21 teams of 4 played in this event and prizes were awarded to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th places. Wensum Valley were most hospitable……the staff were all very accommodating and everything ran smoothly. A buffet lunch of cold meats, various quiches, salads, new potatoes and assorted rolls were all beautifully presented.
Liz Dann, the Club’s Vets Representative, found two starters, Carol Reed and Jean Stebbings, for the 1st and 12th tees and Annie Bryant who sold raffle tickets which, after the purchase of golf balls for prizes and a donation to the Ladies’ Captain’s Charity of the Air Ambulance, raised £100 for the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital Charity.
Ann Whittington, Match Vice Captain of the Society, who had arranged the event, invited Linda Sheppard, the Ladies’ Captain of Wensum Valley, to say a few words. Ann then continued to give a welcome speech and thanked several ladies who had helped to make the day a success, in particular to Janet Lavin who had assisted in registration and checking the cards. President Ann Ewer then presented the prizes.

Proceeds of the raffles held at the competitions in 2024 totalled £1,407.70. A cheque for this amount has been sent to the Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity for the Jenny Lind Appeal. Our thanks go to Jill Bullimore, Angie Allsopp and Sue for running the raffles and to all those who bought tickets.
The Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford was held at Gorleston Golf Club on 14th April 2025. Competitions Secretary Jill Bullimore reported that 92 members from 14 clubs took part. The weather was fine and dry. However, the wind did get stronger as the day progressed making this a factor to wrestle with. Gorleston Golf Club were superb hosts; everyone made every effort to make our day enjoyable. There were particularly satisfied faces after a lovely fish and chip meal. Congratulations to the winners, Sue Olds and Sue Fage from Wensum Valley, with a creditable 46 points.

Angie Allsopp reported that 88 ladies from 14 clubs played in this event. It was a very good day, the weather was extremely kind and we were looked after very well by all the staff at Bawburgh. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day and quite a few stayed for the presentation. Unfortunately, we did not have a starter so everyone saw themselves off, which was not a problem.
Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that this match against Cambs & Hunts Seniors was rearranged from earlier in the year when rain stopped play. The games were played in good spirit and the individual matches were really enjoyed against good opposition. There is no question that the Norfolk team feel at home at the tree-lined King's Lynn course which was in excellent condition and a real pleasure to play on for our final match of the season. Hospitality provided was first-class and a great two-course meal was enjoyed by all. NVLGS colours were presented to Bev Fowler and rather belatedly to Sally Bettinson, Kath Malvern and Anne Sibley.
