Moira, Dot and Moira celebrated 180 years between them by inviting the Ladies to a BBQ and garden party. Moira L and her lovely family allowed us all to trample her lawns and hit golf balls into her borders (none of us could hit a ball into the upturned brollies supplied!!) Attire was optional and on the whole very ladylike just as you would suppose from a gathering of King Jimmy Ladies. However, thanks to a superb wind up from Sponge Bob Ali, some ladies chose to wear shorts and wellies
 . Maybe they were off to T In the Park later.The birthday girls put on a beautiful spread. After providing us with welcoming glasses of sparkling rose, Games Masters, Christopher and Michael, organised us into teams. We played keepie up tennis and ran hilarious potato & spoon relay races. Then a long interval to recover while we had lunch and kept up to date with Andy's progress at Wimbledon. After lunch it was croquet, quoits and pitching and serious problems with the lost balls behind the pitching targets. Maybe the wine was a bad idea girls! Another break from our exertions but we were entertained by a quiz and live music provided by the boys. Congratulations to the Red team (Muriel, Margaret G, Alison & Michelle) who won the team prize and Dot who managed to win the Best Sportswoman Prize  despite eating two plates of dessert at the same time (the camera never lies!) Thanks again Girls for a wonderful afternoon!  |

Outing to Brechin - It all started so well!!
King Jimmy Ladies had their long awaited outing to Brechin last Saturday to take part in the Ladies Open. Forecast was good the sun was shining and summer trousers were order of the day. We started to tee off around 1.30 and we were warned there were a few patches of casual water. The 4th had developed a lake! Then the rain started and forgot to stop. It was torrential and the hailstones felt like bullets! Play was suspended while the green staff tried to clear the greens but their efforts were in vain when the rain started again and it was all hands to the pumps literally in the bar. They ran out of tonic and white wine but we had a great day and we will be backeither for the rescheduled date or for a free round! | |||||||||||||||||
