Next introduction was that of the hard working East Renfrewshire's Greenlees Secretary Val Crawford who has had 2 lunches to organise for the Greenlees Trophy this year with the other one being the very successful Anniversary TRI AM ---> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE IN THE WOMEN AND GOLF MAGAZINE --
It is lovely to see so many familiar faces from matches or from the 80th Anniversary celebration which we hosted just a couple of months ago.
Today’s weather is certainly better for a lunch than playing golf.
East Ren will be celebrating our centenary next year and you will have noticed that preparations are well underway to freshen up the clubhouse. Apologies if you can detect the aroma of fresh paint, although on the upside it probably means you don’t have COVID!
Congratulation to the winning teams and I hope that everyone enjoys their lunch and catching up with friends old and new."She then introduced Carol Fell and said "Carol - well known to us all who keeps her website up to date which includes the Greenlees Results which are available for all to see."
