Past Lady Captain Mrs Maura O’Neill recently presented a silver salver to Lady Vice Captain Una Cullinane.
Mrs O'Neill was delighted to meet with some of the ladies at the club and enjoyed the warm welcome she received. The salver is in memory of her late husband Mr John O’Neil, a former member and well respected local surgeon. Mrs O’Neill has requested this be used for a Mixed Foursomes competition.
The Ladies Branch extend their thanks and appreciation to Mrs O’Neill for this very generous gesture.
