FROM THE LADIES PRESIDENT

Good afternoon everyone, Congratulations to all those who made it to the quarter finals of the Four Ball Cup. We are having perfect golfing weather at present.

Last Thursday we held Invitation Day with 36 visitors from as far away as Yarra Yarra. Claire, James and the staff presented us with a delicious buffet which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Charity Day is coming up fast, so raffle tickets are being sold. Please contribute to our Charities by buying those tickets. Also we need a few more bottles of wine for our hamper which is the ladies contribution to the raffle prizes. There is a box in the locker room for your contributions.

TRIVIA NIGHT - Friday 8th June. Please get your tables of 6 to 8 people and come and enjoy a fun evening.

Charlie Giffard will be doing his One Million Paws Walk on Sunday 20th May. Please contribute to his very worthwhile charity. Details are on our facebook page.
