Hilary wished Nan a very enjoyable two years as President.
Nan thanked the Past Captains for giving her the opportunity to be President for the next two years and looked forward to supporting Lis Wilson in 2011. She wished Lis and her team much success and hoped we would retain the Richardson Trophy. Nan is hoping to meet many of the ladies at the Field Days and is looking forward to her two years in office. 15. Introduction of the New Captain: Karen welcomed Mrs Elisabeth Wilson from Stockport as the new Captain. Lis, from Stockport Golf Club has a long and successful association with Cheshire County golf. Between 1970 and 1994 Lis played in 22 Northern County match weeks. During that time Cheshire won the Northern Division Championship 6 times and won County Finals twice. Lis was County Champion in 1975 and was County Captain in 1991. She has also been the scratch score assessor for several years. This year Lis played in all the Richardson Trophy matches without a loss. A keen birdwatcher and walker you can usually spot Lis with a pair of binoculars strung round her neck! Karen said she could not think of anyone better to lead the Cheshire Team in 2011 and was delighted to present her with the Captain’s Badge of Office.
Lis thanked the Past Captains for inviting her to be Captain in 2011. Senior’s golf is very special, providing fun and friendship and although we get frustrated with our game at times we realise how fortunate we are to be playing this wonderful game and particularly on the fine courses we have in Cheshire. Lis praised the team in winning the Richardson Trophy and knows that we will do our very best to retain it. She is looking forward to the matches and competitions, meeting many old friends and making new ones and closed the meeting by thanking everyone for their support and good wishes.
Meeting closed at 12:24.
Captain
