The ladies section of Orchardleigh Golf Club got into the festive mood at their annual Christmas Lunch and Presentation held at the clubhouse on Tuesday, 12th December.

The event was extremely well supported this year with both playing and none playing members in attendance. The ladies love any excuse to catch up for a natter, and a drink together with a scrumptious two course meal. Entertainment was a pre-lunch Pantomime performed by some of the ladies and written by the Lady Captain, Lin Handley.

There were certainly no awards for acting but hilarity and raucous laughter were definitely the order of the day. After the meal Ann James as competition secretary read out the trophy winners and they were presented by the Lady Captain.

The trophy winners are as follows:
