Championship - Silver & Bronze Divisions 2019
NVLGS • June 22, 2019
The Championship – Silver & Bronze Divisions held at Royal Cromer Golf Club on Monday 17th June 2019.
Once again, we were blessed with a sunny but rather windy day on the Norfolk coast.
61 players from 19 clubs throughout the county played in the competition, 36 in Silver Division and 25 in Bronze Division, with 36 players entering the Gwen Watts Salver Over 65 which ran alongside the Championships.
A start time of 9.00 a.m. from the 1st tee for Silver Division, players in handicap order, our starter Mike set them on their way. Our Bronze Division had a start time of 10.10 a.m. from the 15th tee, again in handicap order, our starter Mark set them off, with ball spotters at the ready with their orange flags.
Our thanks go to:
- Margaret and Gail – Registration
- Lady Captain Barbara and Trish – Raffle and Over 65 competition
- Barbara and Trish – Checking and recording the results.
Thanks also go to Henri and his staff for the excellent food enjoyed by everyone.
Lady Captain Barbara welcomed players to Royal Cromer and hoped they had enjoyed their day. After making a contribution to the Lady Captain’s charity (Medical Detection Dogs), the raffle raised £167 for the Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity.
Vets President Ann Ewer 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.
