Dear Ladies,

I was delighted with our Charity Day last Saturday.  The weather was magnificent and there was a very good turnout for the competition with other members joining us for the raffle in the afternoon. Our honorary guests included Rosemary and Mireilla with their guide dogs “Clint” and “Crunchie” who proved to be a great hit.  I think we all enjoyed Rosemary’s heart-warming stories of her longterm and faithful guide dog “Clint”.

My thanks to our committee who were outstanding on the day and to all of you who donated prizes, bought raffle tickets,  sent in donations, and helped fundraise.  Many thanks also to Dorothy Grey and Linda Galligan who pledged their donations from Bank of Ireland.  A total of €2800 was raised for The Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind. 

Our next big event is Captain’s Day on the 11th June.  There will be an 18 hole and 9 hole competition with lots of lovely prizes to be won.  Details of the event and the entry list are posted on the notice board in the locker room.  There will be a draw for tee-times and I will enter competitors’ names on the BRS system.  You may log in as usual on the BRS from Monday 6th June to check your tee-times.

Dinner will follow in the evening at The National Yacht Club,  Dunlaoghaire with a bubbly reception at 7.45pm and dinner with wine at 8.15pm.  It promises to be a glittering event with a Gatsby theme.  So, don your best bling,  add a feather boa, headband or  a string of pearls. I’m looking forward to a great attendance on the day and later on for dinner.

Kind regards,

Dolores
