AUTUMN AMAM AT EATON GOLF CLUB ON 16th SEPTEMBER 2015

Pat Bland, Match Vice Captain and AmAm Organiser, reported that she, along with Maureen McRae and 128 players, arrived at Eaton hoping the heavy rain that was forecast would hold off. All except the last few groups were lucky.

The format was two scores to count on each hole with nearest the pins for all on the 2nd and 11th.
Not only did Eaton provide excellent hospitality and lunch but a very impressive halfway house serving squash, coffee and loads of nibbles. Thanks to Peter Johns, Steve and Karen Warren for all their hard work, also to Jan Knowler and Val Chapman for manning the halfway house. Thanks also to the Eaton Rep Chris Gillham and Barbara Warren for their help prior to the competition and finding starters and to Maureen McRae, Nancy Allen and Val Chapman who helped with the scoring.

The ball sweep in aid of Norfolk girls made £150.

Eaton Captain Chris Gallagher gave a short speech before our President Barbara Warren presented the prizes.

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.
