Dear Ladies,                                                                                                                                                             Thank you so much for your kindness and support last Saturday, and also for the many lovely cards and gifts you bestowed on me.                                                                                                     The morning was promising with everything in place for the competition and our ladies arrived in good spirits and raring to go.  However, the day was marred by some nasty weather and many ladies were drenched.  Leopardstown closed the course before the competition was completed.  It was bitterly disappointing for all concerned after the wonderful effort made by so many.  A replay is scheduled for July 2nd.  (See notice board in the locker room for further details).

Fortunately, the sun shone for our evening event which was held in the elegant surroundings of the National Yacht Club.  It was indeed heartening to see the ladies arrive, refreshed and bedecked in their finery with many sporting Gatsby attire!   A lovely evening ensued with good food, wine and music.  Our chef for the evening had the onerous task of choosing the best dressed lady and I was reliably informed that he has a good eye for an elegant lady!  The lady was,  Catherine Murtagh who captured the Gatsby look and exuded style and elegance.     The best dancer was Mary T. Murphy chosen by the band leader during a rendition of the Charleston.  I enjoyed the evening and hope our ladies did too.

Well done and thank  you to all concerned.

Kind regards,

Dolores
