The Ladies at Orchardleigh Golf Club held their annual Christmas lunch and prizegiving on Tuesday, 10th December at the clubhouse. Normally some of the ladies would play nine holes to work up an appetite for the three-course lunch, but the weather was too foul to entice anyone onto the golf course, so a quiz and bingo were organised to get everyone into a festive mood.

After the lunch, which was attended by around forty members and guests, and the opening of the secret Santa gifts, the outgoing Lady Captain, Marie Cusworth, presented the following trophies to the 2019 winners.
