Bollington Band Band plays at Christmas

by Marion Harrison (Lady Captain)

On Sunday 18th December 2011, after a tricky icy journey, driving gingerly up Eaves Knoll Road, the welcome at the golf club was festive, warm and friendly with everyone anticipating a musical evening provided by the Bollington Brass Band – and we certainly were not disappointed.

The conductor, Mr Peter Christian, a popular member of New Mills Golf Club was a great compare and kept everyone in a jovial mood with lots of participation from the audience. Carols, picked by the audience were rousingly sung, staff kept the drinks flowing and at the interval, Liz and John our steward and stewardess provided some delightful hot pork sandwiches and chips - and very reasonably priced!.

Is it a star, a golf ball? No, it's Father Christmas!

by Marie-Anne McGibbon

The childrens’ Christmas Party was yet again a resounding success, well so the children declared anyway! There was such a wonderful feeling of magic in the clubhouse, with even the ‘Bah Humbug’ adults falling for the absolute faith of the children.

There was a great reception for the Reindeer, Sponge Bob Square Pants and a Smurf, all of whom helped to keep the dancing going at the disco.

Annual Dinner Dance in December

The annual New Mills Golf Club Annual Dinner Dance was actually the second one this year as last year's was postponed til March due to December 2010 being snowbound - remember that?

This December the weather was OK and a fabulous evening was enjoyed by members and their guests. It was lovely to see everyone in their finery for what turned out to be a night to remember.

Members and guests alike were greeted with glasses of Bucks Fizz and Canapies beautifullly made by Liz our Stewardess and served by the attentive waiters and waitresses for the evening. The clubhouse looked fantastic decorated for the Festive Season to follow.
