An astounding number of people joined us for the Short Mat Christmas Coffee Morning on Saturday 20th December. Everyone enjoyed the delicious, free cakes and mince pies together with a warming drink whist catching up with friends. The Secret Santa draw, held in memory of our dear friend Diane, raised £230 towards our Centenary Celebrations. Thank you to everyone who contributed by donating prizes or by buying raffle tickets on the day.
£1,600.50 Raised for Pilgrims Hospice

Bright sunshine encouraged a large gathering to our Christmas Fair on Saturday. Friends caught up over a cuppa & mince pie then visited our Christmas stalls which raised over £500 towards our Centenary celebrations. Members also took the opportunity to register their sizes for the new Club Kit. Dates when Full Members can do this are displayed on the notice board in the Clubhouse and have already been circulated by email.
The highlight of the morning however was the presentation of a huge cheque, to the value of £1600.50 to Pilgrims Hospice, by Pam and John, in respect of the money collected throughout the year for the Captain's charity. This included over £500 from the charity boxes on the tables and over £1000 which was raised through the sale of tickets, auction and raffle held at the hog roast evening in November. Well done Pam & John!

What a fantastic turnout in support of Pam and John’s charity event. The club house was full to capacity with many members dressed in country and western outfits. Out the back of the clubhouse John’s grandson had set up his hog roast gazebo ready for service whilst our members chatted and caught up with friends and family. A delicious plateful was provided which everyone enjoyed. After the food Dennis entertained us with a variety of tunes which drew members to the floor for a good ol’ knees up.
Race Night Social Report

A bevy of belles and some very sophisticated gentleman were among the the members who spent a fantastic night at the races on Saturday 4th October.
The evening began with good English fare which was enjoyed by everyone. Our steward for the night, Shaun, then set the scene and the placing of the bets and excitement of the races ensued.
At the interval the “Ladies day” competition was judged. The Ladies who dressed to impress, wore elegant dresses and flaunted big, beautiful hats whilst their escorts wore sophisticated top hat and tails or the odd Fedora. Linda Packman took the Ladies’ prize winning a bottle of champagne for her dazzling outfit. A special mention should go to Jill Tipper who hand made her hat to match her outfit. The mans prize was won by a very dapper Bruce Packman in his morning suit
The evening concluded with an owners race where members bid to ‘own' a horse and win half the takings for that horse. Simon Child was the lucky owner.
The Social Team would like to thank everyone taking part in this enjoyable event. The money raised contributed to our Centenary Fund.
Our next event is one of our famous Quiz Nights with Dennis & Mel, November 1st 7.00 for 7.30 start. Tables of 6 - 8 people, family and friends welcome. £4/head.
Thank You
