Waiting to sign in – Gill Newsome, appropriately dressed in Pink, hands out the Cards to Competitors – Gill is the driving force behind all social events at Dunnerholme ably supported by Ken.
A note for your diaries October 18th “Race Night” with ‘Pop Up Curry’ included.

The afternoon was overcast with a cool wind, but the players were all keen to get to the tees and get on their way.

The Member golfers played the ball to the green and the Guest or the Junior, putted the ball into the hole.

Meanwhile back at the Clubhouse, Lynda was busy finding the winners, whilst the players tucked into Pink Cakes, biscuits and snacks provided, and Irene and Bill sold tickets for the raffle table full of generously donated prizes. Finally our Dunnerholme Junior members distributed Stand Up Bingo cards to everyone in the Clubhouse and the game was eventually won by Sophie Ackred.
