A putting competition was organised by Lady Captain, Emma Smith, and cakes were made by the lady golfers to raise funds. The captain was indebted to Terry and Susan, volunteers from the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance who manned the cake stall.
Both events were in aid of the captain's charity, the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, and £1,500 was raised from both events thanks to the generosity of the playing members.
