Ladies Annual Dinner
Friday 1st November 2019
We had a fantastic evening at ESMS Pavillion with great company & a delicious meal. This is the 5th year running that we have held our dinner there and it surpassed our expectations! Here’s a few photos however many more are on display on the revolving photo frame in the Ladies’ Locker room.
CLOSING DAY – Rugby World Cup on 26th October 2019
Another lovely sunny afternoon with a fun competition. Teams representing Wales, Springboks, AllBlacks & England played a Texas Scramble. At the 9th we had a novelty pitch into a net with a rugby shaped golf ball! Unfortunately nobody managed to hit the net, there’s always next time!
In 2019 one of our chosen charities was Fresh Start, an Edinburgh based charity that helps people who have been homeless make a home for themselves. They can help the person to decorate, offer them ‘starter packs’ of pans, crockery, bedding etc and can even teach them to cook.
Helen Maxwell, Lady Captain, presented them with a cheque for £500 from the Ladies Section.
