Ladies Captain

The weather was wonderful, and a great day was had by the ladies that played in the Lady Captain's Day. Many of them sporting the visors that she had given them, and all appreciating the refreshments on offer at the half way hut.

Di Norris arrived to find her buggy decorated in appropriate style for a farmer's wife and retired nurse, and Ermintrude oversaw proceedings in the dining room, although there were rumours of an unfortunate accident!

Helle Jones, Sonia Probert and Mary Lock were the winners of the Bowmaker competition on count back from Ellie Northeast, Brigitte Lomer and Jackie Pudney, with Mel Sutherland, Sue Sweet and Connie Gilchrist in third place. Mary Lock was nearest the pin on the 17th and Carol Marquiss was nearest the string on the 18th.

At the end of the day Jackie gave Di a thank you present from the Ladies Section. 

Thank you to Anne Regler for taking the photographic record of the day, there are more pictures in the Ladies Gallery .

Congratulations to Pat Pitt, winner of the Vincent Cup, and Sara Tunstall the runner up.

After being questioned over the rule of  'ball moved accidentally by competitor or equipment' (Rule 18-2a) regarding a card returned in the Vincent Cup Rnd 1 by Loes de Kleuver. 

The Ladies Committee sought advice from the County advisor and under their advice, due to the circumstances of advice being sought before the card being returned, under Rule 33-7 (Committee decisions) it was decided not to impose disqualification (Rule 6-6d) but to impose the one shot penalty.
