Match vs Suffolk held at Dunston Hall on Wednesday 7 September 2022
NVLGS • October 6, 2022
Match Captain Chrissie Owens reported that this was the third and final match of the season as the match against Lincolnshire was cancelled due to the travelling distance to Grimsby. Played at home on a glorious autumn day, Pippa Holliday, President of the NVLGS, kindly came along to start all the games.
It was great to have Sue Meadows playing in the team again and a warm welcome was given to two new team players, Elaine Richards from Sheringham and Sally Benton from Eaton. After the long, hot summer there was still a lot of run on the ball and many birdies were gained by both sides!
The match was halved, having been played in good spirits and enjoyed by all, followed by a two course meal of lasagne, salad and garlic bread with a brownie and ice cream to follow.
"Thank you to all my team."

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.
