We also recognise the fact
that we rely on Tee and Bar
Sponsorships to help us
maintain our high standards.
In
recognition
to
their
sponsorships we have their
details placed on plaques on
the Tees and also on plaques
above the bar in the lounge.
Again this has brought positive
feedback from members and
visitors and we appreciate their
support.
One of the roles of being Club
Secretary is to ensure that the
club runs smoothly. I always
make a point of introducing
myself to visitors and ensure
that they receive a warm and
friendly welcome from myself
and the staff.
This year will have extra
challenges for me because I
have been elected Lady vicecaptain. I hope to be able to
assist our Lady Captain Doreen
Pringle as much as I can.

on our patio area. It shows

club and that their efforts are
appreciated by all.
We have many competitions
and
Open
competitions
throughout the year, too
many to mention, but our
club diary is full. This year
we are again being the host to
a charity marathon. We were
approached last year by a
representative of the Brathay
Trust who were looking for
a venue to hold a marathon.
Our golf course was the perfect

Last year was such a success
that they are holding the event
again this year. There will be
about 200 competitors and
all monies raised are for the
Brathay Trust charity. This
marathon is taking place on
March 8th and this year we are
going to enter our own relay
team.
On looking forward, I will
probably continue to b
