Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 18 December
2019
This
Wednesday we were getting into the Christmas spirit. There were 29 members and one guest and everyone
bought a gift which was exchanged at prize giving. So, everyone was a winner today. Gordon decided to go Biblical with the chosing
of the presents, the last shall be the first.
The team who came last, had first choice of the presents.
We
played a Texas Scramble where each player in the team had to do four
drives. The weather was very pleasant. A white Christmas was certainly not on the
horizon which was just as well when playing golf. Many thanks to Greta who organised today’s
game.
After
golf, we headed for the “Taberna La Candelaria” in El Campello for our
traditional meal before Christmas where were we joined by friends and family. It was a jolly occasion with plenty of good
food and wine. Many thanks to Gordon,
our President, finding this, for us, new venue, and making all the
arrangements. The restaurant menu did
not include a dessert, but no worries.
We are very fortunate to have some amazing cooks in our midst. To our delight, Sanda Woodfine and Heather
Davison provided a range of desserts which rounded up our meal in style. A big thank you to both for not only making
the delicious sweets but they were doing this out of their own pockets, a very
generous gesture and well appreciated.
