Ádh mór ar ár mBan Chaiftín Maeve Gillespie dona lá mór Dé Sathairn seo chugainn 4ú Iúil. Tá obair mhór déanta ag Maeve do Chraobh na mBan ó ghlac sí leis an ról ag tús na bliana agus chuir sí a croí agus a h-anam i ngach gné dá cuid oibre. Guíonn na baill uilig achan rath uirthi don deireadh seachtaine.
Lady Captain’s Day is highly anticipated every year and this year is no exception and we wish Maeve all the best for the impending event this weekend. Maeve’s motto for the year was ‘Golf agus Craic’ and she certainly hasn’t disappointed and we are only half way through her tenure at the top! From the ‘Drive In’ on St Valentine’s Day, events include remembering past Lady Captain Nell Cullen in a special way on the first anniversary of her passing, she organised a golfing holiday to Spain, a weekend away in Ballyliffin, got the winners enclosure herself many times and probably the pinnacle so far, accepted the Donegal Shield on behalf of the Ladies Branch in Narin and Portnoo GC last April. Tús maith leath na h-oibre! Maith thú a Bhan Chaiftín. Her schedule begins on Thursday evening July 2 when all the Ladies are invited to take part in the Lady Captain’s Shoot Out.
Everyone is invited to assemble at the Clubhouse at 6pm. Following the Shoot Out, the draw will be made for playing partners for the main competition. First group on the tee at 11am on Saturday July 4. It will be an 18 hole stroke competition and will be following by a buffet in the Clubhouse.
Later on in the evening, friends, members and family come together in the Clubhouse to celebrate the day, present the prizes and show their appreciation to the Lady Captain for her efforts, and the energy and enthusiasm she has brought to the club. It wouldn’t be a proper celebration for Maeve without music and dance and while the musical maestro who will perform on the night remains a secret at the moment, here is a little clue, tá Morris Minor Glas aige!
Ádh mór Maeve, bain sult as an tseachtain agus an chuid eile don bhliain.
