Captain's Newsletter - 9 October 2022

Aren't the trees turning a gorgeous colour on the course? Autumn is truly on its way but we are still enjoying some warm weather.

I think we are all still reeling from the loss of our dear friend Marion. It has been so sudden and difficult to take in. We can't imagine what her family are going through. Her funeral will take place on Wednesday 19 October 11 am at North Herts Crematorium, Bedford Road, Holwell. Then afterwards at The Plume and Feathers in Ickleford. Please let me know ASAP if you will be going to The Plume and Feathers as Brian ( Marion's husband ) needs to know numbers for catering. At the moment I have 14 attending crematorium only and 12 attending both. It has been suggested that if possible we wear purple club jumpers with a pink polo shirt

It was good for us to remember her in a celebratory way last week when we wore pink and toasted her in lager and Prosecco

I am afraid more sad news - Brenda Harrington whom some of you may remember fondly has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and is now in a hospice. Megan is going up there tonight (Sunday) and I have given her a card from all the section. If flowers are allowed Megan will give her flowers from us too.

Wednesday 21 October between 10.30- 1.30 Wendy will be holding a MacMillan Coffee morning. Her address is 4 Rectory Lane, Stevenage, SG1 4BY Tel. 0780 3888 162 Please car share when possible
