Captain's Day, 2012

What a Exciting Captain's Day!
For most of our ladies it was a simple little 18-hole team challenge in the summer sun with some light refreshments at the 12th, including some delicious strawberry tarts, and then, after golf, a spot of Afternoon Tea and a brief prize-giving.

For others it turned out to be a little more dramatic. Unfortunately, Katherine Chambers had a little break at the 7th Hole and had to take a trip to A&E to get her ankle put in plaster before (very bravely) rejoining her team for Afternoon Tea!
