Championship - Silver & Bronze Divisions 2015
NVLGS • July 3, 2015
The Championship – Silver & Bronze Divisions held at Sheringham Golf Club.
Pippa Holliday reported that 87 ladies played in the competition from 23 clubs (48 in the Silver Division and 39 in the Bronze Division). 54 players entered the Gwen Watts Salver Over 65 competition which ran alongside the Championships.
The sun shone, the wind blew in true Sheringham tradition, but spirits remained undaunted throughout the day. Once again, I received tremendous support from Lady Captain Judy Williams, Club Rep Christine Tew and their experienced team of officials. It is thanks to them that the day ran so smoothly. The cold buffet was outstanding and a great tribute to the hospitality of Sheringham Golf Club. All in all a fabulous day for everyone. Very many thanks to Beryl Nash and Trish Watson who both did a brilliant job in the collation of the results. Also to Barbara Warren for her confidence and reassurance.
The raffle raised £195.

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.

Presentation of Trophies at the 2024 AGM
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.
