An Evening of trad jazz with Manchester Jazz

May 2011

We’re pleased to announce the return of Mart Rodger and Manchester Jazz, back by popular demand! The band last played at New Mills Golf Club in June 2010 and everyone who came along thoroughly enjoyed a great evening of traditional jazz - click on this Manchester Jazz link to read Tom James' write-up.

If you want an evening of trad jazz played by a very accomplished set of musicians make sure you don’t miss what promises to be another great evening at the golf club.

Seniors invitation to Ladies day 2011 - Triumph over disaster

by Steve Price

The Ladies and Seniors sections of the club play two events in the year. Both provide an opportunity for some very enjoyable social golf with a bit of competitiveness built in. The Seniors section of the club, which welcomes members over the age of 55, is very strong and both sections work hard to provide additional funds and support for the club through the various matches and events they organise throughout the year.

Just working on the menu for Mothering Sunday 2012, but here's the successful menu from 2011

April 2011 - Welcome to sunny New Mills!

by Tom James

New Mills Golf Club is delighted to welcome new Steward and Stewardess, John and Liz Longworth to the club.

For the last 13 years John and Liz have been licensees of the ‘Devonshire Arms’ Mellor where they built up a regular clientele and an excellent reputation for serving good quality, attractively presented and sensibly priced food. Before moving to the Devonshire Arms John and Liz were landlord and landlady for 14 years, of the ‘Duke of York’ on the Ashbourne Road outside Buxton.

Sadly the Annual Dinner dance before Christmas had to be cancelled because of the atrocious weather. However, the Christmas concert by Bollington Brass Band was able to go ahead and once again was a huge success with, according to Mr. Captain, the ‘Twelve days of Christmas’ being the highlight of the evening involving lots of audience participation and dare we say a fair bit of competitiveness! Once again Musical director, Pete Christian and his band provided a superb evening’s entertainment and got those who came along into the Christmas spirit.

The Children’s Christmas party was the last major event to be organised by retiring Steward and Stewardess Peter and Pat Chadwick and Santa and his little helpers were once again a huge success with the children. A presentation was made to Peter and Pat by House Chairman Arthur Oliver who wished them both a long and happy retirement and thanked them for all their hard work on behalf of the club over the last 10 years.

Peter and Pat Chadwick change course 

After 10 years as Steward and Stewardess of New Mills Golf Club, Peter and Pat Chadwick retired in December 2010.

During their spell at the club Peter and Pat have witnessed many exciting changes. Firstly in 2001, the existing nine hole course was extended with the creation of an additional nine holes on the other side of the clubhouse. Then in 2007, the clubhouse was modernised and completely re-furbished to provide an attractive venue for members and visiting golf societies.

Peter, served in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards for 23 years, much of the time as Sergeant Major and then worked as a driver for Mini-Gears an engineering company based in New Mills. Pat worked for local firm, Swizzels, in the works canteen before moving to the golf club.
