- The AGM went well and was well attended. Phillipa came with her dog Tarka. She explained how he helped make her daily life easier by helping her with various tasks and how he was able to raise the alarm when she was unwell. Tarka enjoyed the fuss he received and thoroughly enjoyed roaming free range around the clubhouse for a short while. An article with photographs of the fashion show and Phillipa with Tarka appeared in the Newport Advertiser which hopefully will help to raise awareness of the charity ‘Dogs for Good’. The Ladies committee have met and re-visited the points raised under AOB at the Ladies AGM regarding the 9th hole. A notice confirming their findings will be displayed over the next few days on the Lady Captains notice board in the Ladies Changing Room.
- Handicap League – Well done to the ladies who have played. They have won their first two matches against Bridgnorth and Ludlow.
- Sadly we were beaten by Enville in the Mail on Sunday but a big thank you to those that played.
- Friendly Matches – Currently we are unbeaten. We won away at Stafford Castle, virtually unheard of I gather, and at home against Hawkestone 4 – 0! Keep up the good work girls!
- Our Ladies Open will take place on May 10th and we have 90 competitors. Let’s hope for good weather and good luck to all those taking part.
- Lady Captain’s Away Day will soon be upon us – 19th May. Please don’t forget to choose your partner and put your names on the list on The Lady Captain’s Board. For those who haven’t yet paid could you please put your money in the box as soon as possible.. For those requiring a buggy don’t forget to book them direct with the club which is now renamed The Staffordshire Golf Club!
- The Ladies v Seniors match was a great success. The Ladies won 7.5 to 9.5. The Queen celebrated her 90th birthday on the same day and to mark the occasion we decked the club house with bunting provided all with Union Jacks and sang several songs including Land of Hope and Glory, Jerusalem etc. We presented Malcolm Wallace with a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday. I would like to thank Stan and Jenny Cornes and Chris Downing for all of their help in organising the day, Clair Bennett for the lovely cake, Jackie Minns for providing the flags, Jo Cole for printing the words to the songs Geoff Sellars for producing the music and to Snax our MC and music Maestro for ensuring the music was played at the right time! Well done to you all you were in fine singing voice!
- The mixed Tri match will take place at Wrekin on 15th May. Good luck to all of those playing in it.
- Reminder – it is the Club AGM on the 26th May.
- We have the Captain’s Drive in and Social on the 28th May. It promises to be a fun day – I will join in the fun once I have successfully driven a ball off the 1st tee!
- Medal 2, which was cancelled on 16th April because of snow, will now run onSaturday 21st May, alongside the men’s medal.
