Charity Coffee Morning

Charity Coffee Morning

Thursday October 17th

Today was the Ladies Charity Coffee Morning and we had 29 ladies visiting us from 8 other clubs - Tehidy, Falmouth, Mullion, Praa Sands, West Cornwall, Killiow, Point and Trevose were all represented!

The picture below sums up the weather! Bright sunshine - clouds... rain combined with a strong and  gusty wind! 

The Gaiety girls led by Chris had done a super job setting up stalls around the function room selling a wide array of things.

Checking out the clothes and  golf table.

A glorious selection of jewellery

The lovely craft stall

Special secret auction table

Di, Lyn and Frieda did a lovely job sourcing and decorating prizes.  

Lyn also prepared all the cards for everyone - including handicaps where known and adjusted to 90%! Thanks Lyn!

Kenny was our starter keeping everyone to time and making last minute adjustments when they proved necessary!

Brian with his trusty umbrella was our spotter on the 4th  and when we were all through there he continued the job with Kenny on the 12th!

Many thanks!

We had a good amount of sunshine but the storm clouds gradually built  - some went up the channel and others caught us out.

One minute like this....

and not long later quite different!

Two of the later starting groups came in after 11 holes after being soaked but the remainder completed the course.

There were prizes for the first four places, with the added extra of a prize for the best visitors and best 'duo-club' score.

Our best 'duo-club' team were Antoinette with Jean from Tehidy  with a score of 32 points - very consistent play with 16 points on each 9.

The best visiting team were Mo and Donna from Falmouth with 33 points again with very consistent scoring.  (Donna hadn't played Cape before so came with an eye on playing the course ready for our league match next year!)

In overall 4th place (on countback of course) were Kathy Wells and Sally Ingle also from Falmouth with a score of 35 points

In third place (on countback again) were Helen Carson and Angie Darnell from Mullion with a score of 36 points.

They were just pipped to second place by Frieda and Judy who also scored 36 points.

In first place with a shocking 43 points (which included 5 birdies of which one was a two on the 13th) were Fran and myself!

We were astounded!

A few extra thanks... to Lindsay, Sarah and Lyn  for doing the results; to Pam for the lovely flower arrangements; to Leanne for coming back specially to be here and to all the Cape staff for looking after us so well in both preparation for the day and for the day itself. The sandwiches and cakes (and chocolate-orange torte!) were so welcome!

To Chris and all the gaiety girls for their work in collecting items for the stalls and arranging it all, and to Fran for looking after all the money

Finally a few bonus pictures...

Cheers ladies!

Approximately £500 was raised for the charities! Well done everyone.
