Milngavie, Cathkin Braes, Loudoun Gowf and Cathcart Castle with the Trophies |
The 72nd Greenlees Lunch and Presentation of Trophies was held at Williamwood Golf Club today.
Gill Unick (Williamwood Greenlees Secretary) organised the event and was helped on the day by next years Williamwood Greenlees Secretary Christine Leitch
Most of the clubs from the 3 divisions within the Greenlees Trophy (55 ladies) were represented and what a great celebration they all had.
They were welcomed warmly by Williamwood's Jinty Roger who was standing in for the Lady Captain Lesley Forsyth. On arrival everyone received a complementary glass of wine and after an excellent grace by Anne Dunn a beautiful lunch was had by all.
Anne Dunn the West of Scotland Greenlees Secretary then stood up after the meal and said ----
It is a great pleasure to have been
invited to Williamwood for our annual lunch and Presentation of prizes. This day takes more organizing than I
thought with a lot of
people behind the scenes doing the
hard work. There are a number of people
to thank for making this event happen.
FIRSTLY: I wish to thank Jinty
Roger, for taking the time to join us for
lunch today and for her very kind words of welcome
SECONDLY: I would like to thank
the Club Captain and the committee for allowing us to hold the function here
and for their generous gift of wine on our arrival.
THIRDLY: Gill and her assistant Christine and without them this lunch would have never taken place and I owe a great debt to
Gill for her advice and organizational skills.
The beautiful floral arrangements
on the tables are also due to Gill. May I ask her to pass on to the chef and his
staff our thanks for a beautiful meal.
FOURTHLY: I would like to pass on
your thanks to Carol Fell for taking the photographs today. I am always amazed that Carol has the time
to be at all the functions she attends and all the jobs she manages to do. I intend to ask her how she manages to get
more than twenty-four hours into her day.
If I get an answer I will let you know – I think we could all make use
of the advice.
NOW TO the real business of the
day
She then asked Jinty to
present the winning teams in each division with their trophies.
