More than 150 members, guests and visitors came to Pottergate Golf Club to watch the lighting of the Platinum Jubilee Beacon.
The evening started at 6.00pm with a nine hole Shotgun Texas Scramble. The field was made up of 13 teams of 4 and was a great success.
Thanks to all the teams for making this a really fun event and congratulations to the joint winning teams with a net score of 26 shots:
Bill Howard, Margaret Parry Bob Moore and Andy Sherwood
Brian and Graeme Greenwood Dave Lee and Steve Carr
Then the members, guests and visitors enjoyed hot food provided by Kevin and Teresa Galjaard. A huge thank you for their generosity.
As the time drew nearer, all those present were handed a glass of Prosecco as they headed to the Beacon. A big thank you to Greta for providing the Bubbly.
The Beacon was kindly provided by Winston & Sue Bailey, another big thank you. The Beacon was lit by Abigail and Winston, thank you for a task well done.
It was a splendid sight enjoyed by one and all. A bugler played Majesty which was especially composed for this event. A toast to her Majesty was followed by a rousing cheer and all singing God Save the Queen. Everyone then retired to the Clubhouse to continue the festivities.
A huge thank you to, Kevin and Joe Souter for keeping the drinks flowing all evening.
Also, a big thank you to the unsung heroes who collected glasses all evening, disposed of the paper plates and tidy-up after the event.
With a final thank you to the Pottergate team and all the visitors that turned up that made this such a wonderful, momentous occasion.
