CHRISTMAS PARTY!

What a fantastic turnout for our first ever Strathmore Juniors Christmas Party! We were delighted that so many of you came along and made the day so special! We were also very taken aback with so many of you wanting to play our Texas Scramble on what can only be described as a very wet and cold day! So very well done to all the golfers!! Our winning team on the day was captained by our Junior Club Champion Allan Easton who along with Brad Bannerman and Daryl Todd who returned a brilliant score of 30. In 2nd place was the team captained by past Junior Captain Mark Scott and team members Lewis MacLeod, Jack Dickson and John McKenna who also scored 30 but lost out on first place by virtue of best last 6. 3rd place was taken by Team Captain Rory Tinker and his team of Euan Robb, Josh McKenna and Kirsty Brodie with 32. Well done to all the team and a big thank you to all our 'Captains'!

Following golf we all enjoyed a fabulous Christmas Lunch. We had crackers on the table and juice was also provided. Committee member Lesley Haynes devised a brilliant quiz which each team completed during lunch. A big thank you to Lesley for all her hard work in making such a fun quiz. Strathmore Golf Club's President Sandy Bushby came along and presented the prizes to the winning teams of the quiz. In third place was Tod Bannerman, Cameron Gray and Mark Menzies. In second place was John McKenna, Lewis MacLeod and Jack Dickson and the overall winners were Hannah Robb, Ryan McKenna, Callum Ewan and Sean Storry. Very well done to all.

Our Party followed lunch and we were visited by a very happy little elf who took charge of all the games. Among the games were musical statues, Four Corners and pass the parcel. Then our 'little Elf' brought his big friend into the room and he was of course Santa Claus. We were all delighted he could take some time off from what must be a very busy time to come along to give all our juniors a Christmas gift. Thank you Santa!

We then continued with more games and lots and lots of prizes. Many thanks to all who played and helped with the games!

The day was indeed a great success made even more special when our Beginner Squad convener Jackie Moran managed to come along and see everybody. We wish her a speedy recovery so she can once again take part in all junior days at Strathmore. Also a big thank you to all the helpers and organisers.

Below is a slide show of the day. Sorry there are so few photo's but I got carried away with the games and forgot to take them!!
