Vets v committee match at forest of Dean
Wednesday 16th June 2021
Arranged 2 years ago, it was a relief and pleasure to actually arrive at Bells Golf and Country Club and to find all arrangements were going to plan. We were made extremely welcome by the club and had a very pleasant day all round.
I apologise to the 24 ladies for not capturing the moment with photos (unless anyone has taken any) as by time checked everyone in and doublechecked the shots allowed time had flown. The ladies had responded to appeals for replacements at last minute and what a lovely group of smiling faces enjoyed their choice of baps and drinks before the game.
A beautiful day and the course was in great condition, although one hole was a bugbear, that number 10. NB If you visit the club in the future it will not be so daunting the pro assured me.
The shots allocated were all extremely close and the scores reflected this as 3 matches were decided on last hole. This year the team chosen by Megan from the vets just won 3 1/2 to 2 1/2.
Thank you to all.
Sue Johns, Chair
Vets match v Wiltshire at Ogbourne downs
Although we lost our match against Wiltshire at Ogbourne Downs 3-5, we all enjoyed the course and the hospitality.
2 teams only lost on the 17th and 1 on the 18th.
We did not enjoy the violent hailstorm or the one flash of lightning and clap of thunder in the distance!
Megan Mills, Captain
COUNTY VETS 1ST COMPETITION OF THE YEAR THE BROCKWORTH SALVER
On Thursday 13th May we held the Brockworth Salver at Chipping Sodbury GC.
As the Ladies got underway to a steady start with hope (for a dry day) in their hearts the rain began to fall at about 11.15 and by 12.45 the greens were flooding and the course was very wet underfoot. The rain was getting heavier and with no sign of it easing we were left with no choice but to abandon the Competition.
Of the 123 players setting out 27 did not even reach the 1st tee, about 30 completed 18 holes and the remainder were strewn across the course in various states of soaked to drowned !!
In spite of these horrible conditions there was a real atmosphere of gaiety and friendliness in the air – ladies were so pleased to be meeting friends and catching up on their news. We were able to meet and socially distance outside and in the marquee and the Chipping Sodbury catering Staff were marvellous – carrying hot drinks and plates of hot food through the rain to keep us warmed up.
The Committee will be meeting in June to decide what to do next and you will be kept informed.

County Vets Competition Secretary

Finally, the Millennium Trophy competition 18 and 9 hole played at home starts on Saturday 1st May.

The Committee has agreed to continue in office for 2021 but we do have a vacancy for a new committee member to be coopted for 2021 and to be prepared to hold a position from November 2021.
We also urgently need a Vice Captain for 2021 so please can you suggest some possible nominations by contacting me in the first instance.
We will begin 2021 with the Vets Reps Meeting at Cotswold Edge on Monday 9th February when we can catch up on 2020 and launch into 2021.
It has been an extraordinary year for everyone so we hope these arrangements are acceptable to you all and we look forward to 2021 with optimism. .
AGM ON NOVEMBER 4TH aT COTSWOLD EDGE 2019
Thank you to all the vets, who attended the AGM despite many having horrendous journeys due to flooding and various road closures.

Below is a photo of the trophy winners who were present. Unfortunately the other photos were a failure (sorry ladies). If you have photos of prize winners from your club, do feel free to send them to Sue Johns for inclusion.
