This year our AGM was held at the Glen Golf Club on Thursday 11th November. Prior to the meeting, Gail had organised for an afternoon tea which proved very popular and allowed for some welcome catching up. There was lively chatter and stunning sunshine views from the clubhouse not to mention the delicious scones and cakes. Michelle Campbell from Macmillan Cancer Support joined us and Gail and Frances presented to her, a cheque for £5000, the money raised at this year’s Babe Zaharias event.
It was great to see some of our juniors attend for the prize giving. Shona reported on how well they have done over the season and how they have grown from strength to strength. Their participation in the East Lothian Junior Golf League and the Cuthbertson Cup are very much appreciated.
In thanks and appreciation for all their hard work over the years , Gail presented flowers to Jane Nelson and Kay Lannin both of whom are stepping down from their roles on the committee. Jane has been Secretary for four years and in the words of Gail “has been the most efficient, supportive and knowledgeable Secretary she could have asked for”. Jane has agreed to remain as a Committee Member for one yearto assist the new Secretary.
Kay has now completed her 3 years as a Committee Member and I am pleased to report will remain as the player representative on the Babe Zaharias Committee.
Nancy Thorne is now Secretary.In her role as Treasurer Nancy has been working with Jane on the installation of the new Scottish Golf Software and has agreed to move over to Secretary as this will keep the continuity in the role and make the final transition much easier when the switch to the new software is made.
We are pleased to welcome Una Cooper as the new Treasurer and Fiona McIver as a new Committee Member.
Elaine Dick is joining us as Vice President for one year and will take over from Carole Ross as President next year. We are delighted to have Elaine rejoin the Committee.

Gullane Ladies’ Golf Club were the winners of Section 1 of the 5 a side competition and Winterfield Golf Club were the winners of Section 2. Both clubs have done very well to win their sections with some close games over the course of the season.
Representing Gullane Ladies’ were Sarah Ledingham, Susan Corrie, Anne Blundell, Wendy Thummanond and Anne Smith. Representing Winterfield were Diane Sheffield, Rae Muir, Elspeth Haston, Seline Stewart and Judy Newton.
It was a lovely afternoon at Musselburgh Golf Club and the course was in great condition. There were some close games but it was Gullane who came out on top, with a 4 – 1 win. It was the first time that Winterfield have played in the Carols’ Trophy and they have all thoroughly enjoyed their matches during the season.
After the matches were over, we all enjoyed a delicious Afternoon Tea in the clubhouse. Thank you very much to Musselburgh Golf Club for hosting us this afternoon and for looking after us so well.
Congratulations to both clubs on reaching the final and very well done to Gullane Ladies’ Golf Club who have retained the trophy. Thank you to the two team captains, Anne Smith (Gullane) and Lorraine Laird (Winterfield), for all their hard work and support during the season. Many thanks to our President, Carole Ross, for your support today and to our Captain, Gail McKill, for your help.
