New Mills Golf Club

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.

The old year ended with the New Year’s Eve dinner and Disco and was the first event to be organised by the new Steward and Stewardess John and Liz Longworth who produced a superb meal. John and Liz are currently running the Devonshire Arms in Mellor and will take over the running of the Clubhouse fully in March once they have served their notice at the Devonshire Arms.

Finally the Seniors’  23rd Annual Dinner took place on Wednesday 5th January and was attended by over 40 people. Again there was lots of praise for the excellent dinner prepared by John and Liz.
