Tenn-ice anyone?

Freezing temperatures, snowy conditions and biting winds were not enough to be daunting to the ladies of East Glos Club. The Annual Christmas Ladies Fun Day went ahead as usual.

Keiko Hirano, organiser and member, says, “Running about is one of the best remedies to keep warm in the winter. The ladies like to take part as it is an excellent way to burn off a few extra calories before all the Christmas festivities.

“Because of the mix and split format at the end of each of the 4 sessions, it is a fun event to take part in even if you are quite a beginner. You also meet people you may not normally have an opportunity to partner. The fancy dress adds even more fun, with a prize for the “most festive dressed” as well as the player with the most points.

“The sun shone for a little while but then it started snowing and by the end you couldn’t see the lines to call the balls in or out! All this was forgotten when we went in to the Clubhouse for a delicious lunch and of course, a little glass of Christmas cheer!
