Ladies Christmas Lunch - December

by Marie-Anne McGibbon

Yes it is that time of year again, for the lady golfers to have a party! (Actually, they party all through the year, but pretend Christmas is the only one!!)

Once again Liz and John did a wonderful meal, with superb Christmas decorations to set the ambience. As you might imagine, there was plenty of chatter and laughter, and a modicum of alcohol!

To finish the party, Joan Flowers played for us, and there was a rousing (or should I say noisy?) chorus of Christmas carols to see us safely on our way.

Fashion show presented by FIZZ in November

A ‘Fizz’ing good night! I cannot believe that it is 8 months since Fizz last displayed their wares to the good ladies of New Mills, and oh how the styles had changed.

Back in March the promise of summer was in the air, and the light airy clothes reflected that expectation. On the 30th November the styles were for winter and the festive season, and all at extremely reasonable prices. No one could leave feeling cold, as there was a vast array of colourful and functional scarves/cowls, and some very fashionable ponchos to cover up on the way to the festive party.

Lady Captain's Day by Lady Captain, Marion Harrison

My Lady Captain’s Day was held on Saturday 10th July 2011 at New Mills Golf Club and there were 27 players (including Lady President) in my stableford, full handicap competition and it was good to see Past Captains, Honorary members, Social members, ladies and guests joining us for the afternoon tea at 4.30pm. Avis Proctor our Past Lady Captain of 2010 was able to be with us after her operation and we wished her better health in the future and look forward to her returning to play golf.

Ladies Open Quad AM (Stableford Competition)

July 3rd 2011

Sun, fun and good food - what more could we ask for? Well, good golf, you might say, and this is what we also had (well in the case of some teams).  But even then, those who did not play too well, enjoyed the brilliant views on such a glorious day, and were resuscitated by the excellent food and beverages of Liz and John (the stewards).

Added to this, there were many attractions to distract the frustrated golfers. Tim Hensel took action photos of the teams, and created their own magazine cover as a souvenir. ‘Sally’ displayed a wonderful collection of handmade glass jewellery, which lightened the weight of a few purses. And if this was not enough, Daily Sports clothing was supplied by Anastasia - and proved very popular.
