48 players took part in the bridge luncheon held at The Leicestershire golf club.

This year players arrived at 10.00am for tea or coffee.  Bridge was played in the morning from 10.30am, finishing  at 1.00pm. Lunch was then served and was of an excellent standard with the chef and staff receiving many compliments. Players were able to leave after they had finished lunch enabling people to leave a little earlier than in previous years. 

This new format for the day seemed to be popular with participants.

The winner was Ruth Sinclair of Beedles Lake with 2300 points. The full results are posted under Trophy Events/results. 

The President thanked Mary Jarvis and Sheila Plant for organising the event and Pat Keats, Director of Bridge on the day. 

Thanks also to the staff and members of The Leicestershire for their warm welcome and for hosting this event and to all the players who supported  the Bridge Luncheon this year.

The raffle was very well supported and raised an impressive £184 in support of the County Junior Girls.

Our annual meeting to welcome and talk about our Association with the incumbent Lady Captains and their incoming Vice-Captains took place at Charnwood Forest on Thursday 25th September. Club Representatives are also invited to participate in the 9 hole AM AM competition which is followed by lunch. 

The objective of this day is to encourage captains' incoming captains and club representatives to meet together in a social environment to network and find out a bit about the Association. It's all about making new friends and having fun.

Past Lady Captain of Charnwood Forest Annie Martin and Helen Sherratt, a long standing member of the club welcomed and hosted us all on the day.  Their support was greatly appreciated. 

27 ladies attended, 24 ladies playing and 3 more coming along to the meal who were unable to play due to injuries. The meeting was successful with compliments coming from some of the ladies who attended.

Winners were Ann Jervis and Julie Simpson from Kibworth and Karen Dalzell-Payne and Sue Bailey from Birstall with an impressive 43 points.

Many thanks to Annie who took photographs of all the teams on the tee, to Chris O’Neill for helping to sell the merchandise and to Lynda for her organisation and support on the day.
