Our celebration in July, which incorporates our charity fundraiser, was held on July 4th<\/sup> in the Seabreeze Room and was a wonderful success. We traditionally support the Hastings Hospice in the Home, and with raffles and donations raised $500. This money goes directly to our local community and to patients requiring palliative care in their own home. They provide benefits such as loan equipment, disposable goods and medications free of charge.<\/p>\n The golf itself on the day was rained out. 10 brave ladies participated and earned themselves a ball for their trouble! However not all was lost, and 50 ladies joined us for our luncheon and an afternoon of fun, laughter and prizes, with good food and wine.<\/p>\n This luncheon was extremely well supported, and our thanks must go to all the Sponsors, Francis and kitchen staff, and to Justin and his staff for their help and assistance in making it such an enjoyable afternoon.<\/p>\n Special guests Betty Barrow and Elaine Borger who have retired from golf after 62 years of golfing between them, attended and have promised to return for future functions as part of our Lady Vets family.<\/p>\n It was also lovely to see Robyn Davis, who is recovering following her accident in January, and Anne Coutts following her bilateral knee replacements! We wish both ladies a speedy recovery and hope to see them back on the course soon.<\/p>\n \u00a0Women\u2019s Vets Trial 18 hole competition<\/strong><\/p>\n Following direction from the board, a TRIAL 18 hole Women\u2019s Stableford competition will commence on Tuesday 29th<\/sup> August.

The Women\u2019s Vets 9-hole competition will run on the alternate tee as usual.<\/p>\n The nine-hole competition remains the same with the exception of a slightly earlier start to accommodate extra players across the field.
