Special Thanks:

Events like these are only possible with the dedication and generosity of many. A heartfelt thank you goes to Eddie for his meticulous organisation of the competition, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Denise deserves a special mention for setting up the nearest the pins, adding an extra element of excitement for all participants.
No one went hungry thanks to the delightful efforts of Alison and Christine, whose lovely food at the halfway house was much appreciated by all. And, of course, a big thank you to Jackie and Chris, whose smiles and friendly service kept spirits high throughout the day. Finally, a special thank you to Vice Captain, Simon who has been supportive throughout the planning phase and during the weekend.
Charity
As those that attended will be aware, on the Saturday we held a tossing the coin at the bottle and on Sunday a collection for the club’s charity Madrugada. I am pleased to report that with this and a donation from Mags Taylor from the sale of produce, you have raised a further 547 euro for this deserving charity.
A Fitting Finale
The weekend’s festivities were perfectly capped off with a fantastic meal at Pashmina restaurant. Members enjoyed not only delicious food but also lively entertainment courtesy of 33LM, creating an unforgettable atmosphere and bringing everyone together to celebrate the close of a memorable Captain’s Weekend.
