From the Captain...
Monthly Report
In my last report I indicated that August is the time to "catch
your breath." So much so that Christophe was able to take a longer
than normal break which was well deserved and even Sesinando was
away and able to avoid me! I will report on the course in my other
report, but even the Lady Captain and I escaped for a few days to
Evora where we enjoyed a change of atmosphere and some wine
tasting!
Indeed wine and club improvements and social activities are in my
main plans this month! We are very near to negotiating an agreement
with the owners through the Dona Filipa Hotel for a "members" wine
which will only be available from the bar and restaurant to members
at a special price. That price will be at a considerable discount!
Quite a deal if we pull it off. The wine is coming from Herdade Das
Servas which is north of Evora and Cathy and I visited it to see if
it was as good as it seems. We think it is! Their wines have won
over 30 international awards in the last few years and those of us
who have tasted the wines believe they show a considerable
improvement over the present choice. It is of course a very
personal thing and members are always free to choose any wine which
is available within the
club. There are a few small issues to tie up, but Christophe and I
hope by next month we will be organised.
Ladies Section
Cathy Harper
Following the fun and entertainment of Gala week, August has been very quiet. Many lady members were either back in their home countries or elsewhere on holiday. As a result of this, we only had 9 ladies playing in the monthly Medal, 12 in the fun competition, and another 9 in the monthly stableford. Twenty two of us went to San Lorenzo on August 26th and enjoyed a reduction only competition there. It was a lovely morning and everyone enjoyed playing a different course but sadly their enjoyment was not reflected in the majority of the scores! Sue George's won with a great score of 41 points and Therese Van Doorn was the runner up with 33 points! The rest of us just had a good time!
