MESSAGE FROM THE BIRTHDAY RLCGA CAPTAIN JUNE LOCKHART

CLICK HERE FOR THE BIRTHDAY CARD

WEST JAMBOREE CHAMPIONS 2018

After the tension of the final day’s play in the Jamboree, it is only now I have been able to calm down and compose this message. The Team pulled off an amazing victory at Erskine, and I’m sure you are all proud of them.

Not only were their performances amazing, but their behaviour both on and off the course was exemplary. However they realise just how important your support has been, especially at Erskine and afterwards with your messages of congratulation.

As mentioned at the Prize-Giving, we have to thank Marilyn Muir (Caddy Mistress), Maureen Mitchell (wonderful flower arrangements), Jennifer Mack (Starter), Fiona Armour (photographs – loads of them and if you would like a full quality photo - then email Fiona and she will get back to you ) and Carol Fell (Reports and putting all the photos into albums for the web).

Our Secretary, Carol McNally, did a wonderful job both in the lead up and during the Jamboree itself. Erskine Golf Club did itself proud over those 3 days, and we cannot but thank all the staff concerned.

For a small County, we certainly pull out all the stops – players, workers and supporters. Once again, many thanks and hopefully we will continue to have your support at Kilmacolm from the 14^th- 16^th September at the County Finals.

With heartfelt thanks,

June (a very proud Captain of RLCGA)
