THE annual ‘Away Day’ for the Ladies' Section at Orchardleigh Golf Club took place at Lansdown.

It was organised by Lady Captain Susan Marshall who did a great job, including arranging a perfect day of weather, though a little on the chilly side. The format was a three ball waltz, one, two, three scores to count. The best team score for the day was achieved by Sue Sweet, Lin Handley and Christine Arnold on count back, beating Liz Thomas, Sue Marshall and Mary Ford with the same score.

There is an Away Day trophy given for the best 1st division individual score which went to the Lady Captain with 35 points and the 2nd division trophy went to Sarah Doble with 38 pts.
