Orchardleigh Golf Club’s Ladies’ section held their AGM at the clubhouse recently. At the meeting, the new officers were elected for 2017 and Pat Jones, the outgoing Captain, reported on her successful year at the helm, and particularly how the Ladies’ section had worked hard at raising money for Dorothy House, Pat’s chosen charity for this past year.
She announced that an amazing amount of £3,194.90 was raised and thanked everyone for their help and support throughout the year. Pat then welcomed in the new Lady Captain, Marion Underhill, wishing her a successful year in 2017 and handed her the Captain’s sweater.
Also at the AGM, the prizes were given out to the monthly Medal and Stableford competition winners. Medal winners: Sarah Hynds, Liz Attenborough, Gail Painter (2), Loes de Kleuver, Michele Fairweather, Anne Regler, Sarah Doble, Lorraine Collings, Sue Sweet. Stableford winners: Anne Regler (2), Lorraine Collings (2), Carol Weightman (2), Sarah Hynds, Gail Painter, Diana Bullock, Veronica Cherry (2), Rachel Priddle, Loes de Kleuver.
On 1st December, Steph Cox, from Dorothy House, came to the clubhouse to receive the cheque for £3,194.90 from Pat Jones. Steph expressed huge gratitude to the ladies for their efforts, as she explained how it costs around £10,000 per day to keep the Dorothy House charity running. Orchardleigh Golf Club as a whole, which includes the Men and Senior sections, as well as the Ladies, raised a fantastic total of £11,249.74. The incoming club captains intend to continue raising money for Dorothy House in 2017.
