Adult/Junior Competition

Midlothian AGM held at Liberton on the 11th November

We had our AGM and annual prizegiving at Liberton Golf Club . Many thanks to Liberton for their help on the evening and their generousity in letting us use their facilities.

We remembered fondly past members who had passed away in the previous 12 months.

Lorna Fitzsimmons from Mortonhall
Jesse Swan from Liberton
Patricia Stuart from Ravelston
Esme Starkings from Broomieknowe
and Judy Buchan who sadly pssed away only the day before after a long and terrible illness from Ratho.

The reports followed highlights of the year which had been a good one for all categories. The team being runners up in the Scottish , members representing Scotland in the Home and Senior Internationals, A Junior representing Scotland in the Scottish Schoolgirls and seeing the juniors successes in so many competitions.

It was asked under AOB that members let their representatives know if they would like to change the order of the AGM for the following year in order to have the junior prize giving earlier and maybe start at 7. This would mean the increasing number of younger members not being too late in bed on a school night. If anyone wishes to make any suggestions about this please either let Zandra know or one of your reps as this will be discussed at the next committee meeting.

Under AOB a show of hands was taken about the calendar of events for next year. It was agreed that we would format this so that members could print it off from their own computers.
