Our Captain 2024 – 2025 Judy Searle
| It seems a long time since I was voted in as your Captain for our Diamond Anniversary year. I have had a brilliant year so far, thanks to the support from you the members and from our excellent Committee. The final event the Mixed Invitation is being held at New Zealand GC this year in October. Unfortunately we have had to disappoint some of our members as we had to arrange a ballot, as the event has proved so popular.
Our fortunes in the matches had been less than consistent; we started well with a win at against Berkshire at Reigate Hill and finished with a superb win away playing Kent at Chislehurst. We had a significant loss against Hampshire at Hartley Wintney but drew the home match with Sussex at Farleigh. In all I think that at least forty seven different players have played in these matches. I hope they have enjoyed them as much as I have. I was very pleased to be able to arrange two of our meetings at clubs celebrating anniversaries this year. Our Spring Meeting was at held at Tyrrells Wood, who have a long association with the Society and who are celebrating their Centenary. Our Autumn Meeting was held at Windlesham who celebrated their thirty year anniversary this year. The first meeting was held in brilliant sunshine, quite a surprise that the weather co-operated in May this year but I am afraid we have seen very little sunshine at our other meetings. Our Summer Meeting, was hugely popular with eighty four players taking part. We are very grateful to The Richmond for accommodating us all and looking after us so well. Our individual event the Golden Jubilee Claret Jug, was played at Cuddington and was well supported. Thank you all for your generous support for Battleback by entering the ballsweep at our various meetings. There will be a bottle sweep at our Mixed Invitation and once again the Committee will fund the prizes for the AGM raffle, which will be held at Walton Heath on Wednesday 26th February 2025. Cordelia, our Secretary is already working on the production of our 2025 handbook which details the costing and organisers of each event. You will find details of the dates below my letter. It has been a pleasure to have played golf with such lovely partners during the year and to have read the emails so many of you have sent thanking us for organising the various meetings. I have enjoyed meeting so many of our members during the year. Let us continue to stay safe and healthy, play some good shots and enjoy each other’s company on the course and in the clubhouse.
