North Staffs Lady Captain’s Society

On Thursday 15th November the clubhouse was closed for a very special event. I would personally like to thank all members and staff for their support, co-operation and understanding of my Lady Captains inauguration which took place in front of 90 ladies from the North Staffordshire Lady Captains’ Society.

It is an honour to have been asked to be their lady captain for 2019 and the year couldn’t have started better than hosting the AGM and official luncheon at Leek Golf Club. I’m extremely grateful to Adam, our chef, who provided an excellent meal enjoyed by all the ladies and to the catering and bar staff for providing such great service.

Having been a full member of Leek Golf Club since 1986, I’ve held multiple roles to support the club. I was on the ladies committee for a number of years and in the mid 1990’s I was the ladies handicap secretary and had the responsibility of changing the handicap system from manual to the computerised system. In 2001, I had the privilege of being Lady Captain, a role I took seriously and completely enjoyed.

Throughout my time with the club I’ve been a loyal supporter of the clubs socials, ladies golfing competitions and matches, including the captains weekends away and theatre trips. Now my role in 2019 is to be the Lady Captain of sixteen clubs, a little different to just one club but I endeavour to do the job to the best of my ability.

Thank you all again for your support.
