LADIES BRIDGE AT THE GOLF CLUB Ladies Bridge at Dunmurry Golf Club has a long history, commencing with an enthusiastic group of members who were keen supporters of Rubber Bridge. In 1971 a monthly Duplicate Bridge session was set up, which soon was transformed into a weekly one. Members pay a subscription to play in each session and the receipts from these are used to cover running costs with the greater balance given to support various charities. Through the years, almost £9000 has been given in support to charities as widely differing as a fresh water project in Zambia and the Chest, Heart and Stroke Society of Northern Ireland. This year, the chosen charities are the NI Children’s Hospice and the Alzheimer’s Society. It is good to know that the Duplicate Bridge sessions continue to be well supported and very much enjoyed by all who attend.

*ROE VALLEY MAY 12th 2010* The Ladies’section had their annual outing to the Roe-Raddison on Wednesday 12th. We were anticipating a pleasant, sunny spring day but we had chilly temperatures, hail stones and the Balmoral Show traffic to contend with. However, nothing daunted, off we set about half an hour late on our excursion northwards. Luckily the day improved and we all had a great game of golf and managed to take off the woolly hats and scarves eventually. Vinnie Briggs carded the best score for the 3rd year running, Kathleen Bleakly was runner-up and Bo Shane took 3rd place. Many other lucky ladies won prizes too! After an excellent meal, washed down with a glass (or two ) of wine we headed home. The return journey was rather noisier, with organised singing and unexpected entertainment from the coach driver. Thanks to the main organisers, Norine and Jan. *Hope you have booked for 2011!*	Click on Photo to see more
The annual ‘Shotgun Competition’ was held on Friday 16th April. 60 ladies started at different tees around the course at 3 p.m. exactly. The weather was glorious and the sun shone for the complete event. The course was in excellent condition. There was a lot of run on the ball leading to some high scores. Winning team Lillian Patterson Wendy Reid Roselene Thompson Runners-up Helen McCarthy Maureen Duffield Norma Irwin Helen McCarthy had an excellent personal score too. She grossed 72! What a player! Almost all the ladies were able to stay for a meal and prize giving. After dinner, Lady Captain interviewed some of the more senior members and their funny golfing tales were enjoyed by all.
