 We have been having problems receiving emails on the laptop email (esvga@hubbubknowhow.com) and we have had to change the email address to esvlgasecretary@gmail.com. Can all our ladies please put this new address into their contacts list to avoid future emails going into their spam folders. Dulcie has just sent out an updated contacts sheet so please check your spam folder as it may have gone straight into it.

I have received a few more orders for the new sweater. If Anyone else would like to order one before I place another order, please email me on - carolinekinnaird@sky.com

COFFEE MORNING

Fifty ladies attended the Vets Coffee Morning today at Glencorse Golf Club. A great turn out.

 Lesley Campbell had us all up on our feet as she showed us some Pilates stretches and warm ups. Working of some of the calories. It was great fun and we will all be doing these before we play our golf.  Many Thanks Lesley.

We then had a golf quiz which was won by Anne Brownie's team.
Apologies as I forgot to take some photos. (A senior moment)

Thanks to David, Billy and Jo for the lovely spread of scones, biscuits and tea/coffee. Everyone seemed to enjoy them.
Thanks also to Glencorse Golf Club for allowing us use of their lounge.

The SVLGA is still looking for a Secretary to take over from Allison Houston in September. If anyone is interested in this post please get in touch with Karen Ballantyne.

If any member would like to visit Kate Milne, Dulcie has a contact phone number . She would love to have some visitors.

BLAIRGOWRIE 2018

The dates for the 2018 SVLGA competitions - the Patrick Rosebowl (Singles) and the Beddows Quaich (Greensomes) - held annually at Blairgowrie are Monday 24th September and Tuesday 25th September.

Entry forms for these competitions may be downloaded from the SVLGA website or you can contact Caroline or Dulcie to request a form (these will also be available at the coffee morning at Glencorse on Monday 19th February).  Each Division is allocated a certain number of places for Blairgowrie so it may be necessary to hold a ballot if East Division entries exceeds our limit.  Completed entry forms need to be with Dulcie no later than Monday 23rd April so that the Committee may deal with them in time for SVLGA deadline of the end of April.
