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.

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.
