DOUGLAS PARK GOLF CLUB SOCIAL EVENING SUCCESS

The Wonderful Douglas Park Staff
Douglas Park GC Staff
Maggie with Sarah Perricone and Moira Kerr
Sarah Perricone, Maggie Rutherford (Captain) and Moira Kerr


The Douglas Park Ladies’ Annual Dinner took place on Friday the 21st February. Over 80 ladies enjoyed a glass of Kir Royale on arrival and were entertained and fascinated by a young Paul Donaldson, with his card tricks.
Moira Kerr played the guitar and amused the audience with her witty anecdotes and Sarah Perricone charmed them with her beautiful violin music. The finale was Moira, appearing as Madame Fifi La Monde, with her ‘Oooh Lala’ outfit of a French beret, fish-net stockings, tight skirt and cigarette holder – what a hoot! The staff (pictured above) , in their Bistro-style outfits, and Moses (or rather ‘Dooglass’), in his ‘Garcon’ outfit with his onions round his neck, completed the ‘look’.
Maggie Rutherford the Lady Captain ran this successful social evening.
