A deluge of rain was not enough to dampen the spirits of our Ladies in Pink.
We had 122 starters today which was a wonderful show of support for our Invitation Day from which all benefits go to the Breast Cancer Foundation - one of our favourite charities.
The day commenced with an air of hope that the rain would hold off until our golf had finished.
This was not to be as the skies opened and the course was awash with water in a very short amount of time forcing the golf part of the day to be abandoned. We were all very disappointed about that as the day was shaping up to be a lovely day being a team event with a lot of fun challenges during the game. The players were allowed to purchase one metre of string (from Johnathon Homer - the pink fairy) to use as an escape from an unhappy place on the course, Our Director of Golf - Scott Cubis was driving off the 10th tee for anyone willing to donate $2. These were just a few of the opportunities offered on the day & it was a shame that the match got washed out. We did get very wet unfortunately but there were still lots of smiles regardless of the discomfort.
My playing partners today were Joy Reardon (Toukley), Jan Hoban (Terrigal) and Jan Walker and we were in winning form until we got wet. We had a lovely day regardless and have arranged for another game together at our next Invitation Day.
The Ladies in Pink quickly regrouped when coffee & eats were mentioned & moved upstairs to the comfort of the Sunset Room where our hard working Social Committee had set up a trade table and had some raffles on offer while we relaxed over lunch. My highlight was winning one of the raffles.
My congratulations to our Ladies Committee for all their organising skills and to our Social Committee for all their hard work in putting the day together. The pink theme looked wonderful & was fitting for the day. Our thanks to the Narara Valley Nursery for lending us the beautiful pink azaleas for the downstairs area.
Collectively everyone put in a great effort and I believe that this year was the best result ever for monies raised for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Everyone was very generous with their donations and special thanks go to our male members who very generously donated during the previous week. There will be a special announcement made of the final figure when it all has been tallied up CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE SUPPORTERS OF THIS SPECIAL DAY!
