This is my last newsletter before Christmas so I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support this year. Many of you have purchased Christmas presents and lesson vocuchers from the shop which is much appreciated. I hope you all get to spend some time with your nearest and dearest and have a wonderful Christmas. Best wishes for 2025!
The draw for the Pro Shop Christmas Draw will take place on New Year’s Eve at lunchtime after the Frolic so if you’ve not yet entered please reply to this email or pop into the shop to get involved!

Member’s Christmas Lunch
Thanks to Jan Ravencroft for her “insider report” from the members Christmas lunch which took place on Sunday.
The photos show the Captain’s table getting into the Twelve Days of Christmas and performing their very animated version of a Partridge in a Pear Tree. Plus gentleman captain Ben and past captains Roger Lait and David Wainwright full of Christmas spirit and finally a lovely photo fo the current and past lady captains, Gill Kay & Jan.
Mike Kirchin did a great job leading the carol singing. At the end of the afternoon, the draw was made for Lady Captain’s charity “hamper” raffle. £1435 was raised for ‘Prevent Breast Cancer’ which is a fantastic achievement. Thanks to everyone who took part.
The winners were Sally Wright, Min Fishwick, Trina Walsh, Val Nelstrop and Morven Millar. A huge thank you to Gillian Brogdon for putting it all together.
