Summer Newsletter 2026
The first four months of the year since our AGM in February have flown past. We have had our first match against Berkshire Lady Captains back in April which was played at Woking Golf Club. The weather was kind to us, and we managed a win of 4.5 to 3.5. We had a lovely dinner afterwards which rounded off a fun afternoon.
In early May we found ourselves back at Woking Golf Club for the Spring Meeting. The day stayed dry
for us as we welcomed 60 members from 22 different clubs for a 4BBB competition. Unfortunately,
this was played off 100% course handicap instead of 85%. This mistake was due to an oversight by the
organising committee and the office at Woking Golf Club. We will learn from our mistake and make sure this doesn’t happen again. Liz Gilbert, the Woking Ladies’ Captain at the time, joined us to help with the starting and later in the day to hand out the prizes to the winners who were Lynne Farrow and Kate McWilliam both from Reigate Golf Club with 45 points.
On the 15th June we held the Summer Meeting at Fulwell Golf Club who looked after us very well
indeed. There were 24 clubs represented at Fulwell Golf Club where we played for the Captains Bowls
and the Veterans Trophy. The winners of the Captains Bowl were Myril Ward and Terri Littlewood both
from Clandon Regis with 45 points and the Veterans Trophy was won by Vivien Harris and Gunilla
Huldt both from Roehampton with 43 points. The decision was made that if the Winners overall were
Veterans then the winner of the Veterans Trophy would be the 2nd placed Veterans, which happened in
this case.

We look forward to seeing you at the Claret Jug at Tyrrells Wood or one of our other matches during the
Summer
