In April the ladies have a weekend away. This year 13 ladies stayed at Drumoig on a weekend break, playing Thornton on the Friday, Drumoig on Saturday and St Michaels on the Sunday. The main competition on the Saturday was a stableford won by Dorothy Donnelly. A good time was had by all and ideas are being put forward for 2009.

In October the ladies have an end of season dinner, followed by the prizegiving. The AGM is usually the following week. In November we try to have something different from the following year; in December we have a Christmas meal; January is usually a games night, February we have a quiz night which is open to the men and in March we have our pre-season dinner.
