HAPPY 60^th BIRTHDAY

You are all probably aware by now that next Tuesday is our 60^th Birthday and we will be celebrating this in a big way.

 To make sure you don’t miss out on the fun, please enter your name on the list as it will be taken down on Wednesday

 There will be a Spider and Raffles

 You will be required to wear club uniform and the cost for the day, including lunch, is $15.

$6 (green fees) of this is to be donated by Club Limited to the Hastings Early Intervention Centre. This is our nominated charity for the day.

Just as of a matter of interest the following ladies also share a birthday with our club – Joyce Ebbeck, Wendy Elliott and Frances Fairbrother. Ella Wright just misses out – 11th June and Faye Schollum 13th June.

Biggest Morning Tea 

 On 27^th May we held our Biggest Morning Tea in aid of Cancer Research.  Before going out onto the greens we enjoyed delicious scones with jam and cream and we also held a spider for this worthy cause. We are pleased to advise that an amount of $628.45 was raised to be presented to the Cancer Council.

Regional Triples 

The Regional Triples Play-off was held at Westport on 22^nd May. The team consisted of Margaret Doyle, Robyn Biddle (sub) and Faye Schollum. They won the first game against South West Rocks, but unfortunately were defeated by Tuncurry/Forster Sports in a very exciting game. Well done Port City.

Regional Fours 

The Regional Fours Play-off will be held at North Haven on Thursday 12^th June. We congratulate our Port City Team consisting of Debbie Amor, Carol Bowman, Barbara Barrett and Judy Brady and wish them all the best. We encourage all ladies to come and cheer on our players.
