Vale – Maureen Stewart 2021
Our esteemed Life Member Maureen Stewart passed away on 10th July 2021.
Maureen joined Nepean in 1998 and very quickly became an integral part of the Club. In 2004 she became Vice President and a delegate to the VGL in 2004-5 and again in 2008. She then took on the role of President from 2006-2007 and was at that time a Trustee of the Pavilion.
From 2010 – 2019 she was Club Almoner, taking responsibility for the welfare of our Club members. This was a role for which she was well suited. Her pleasant, caring manner was a great support to all. With a kind word she was able to put them at ease, supporting them through illness and loss.
She was made a Life Member in 2019, in recognition of the important role she played at Nepean but unfortunately became ill soon after and was unable to continue playing.
She will be sadly missed and always fondly remembered as one of our “ladies in the dam.”
Charity Guest Day 2021
A colourful day dawned as 86 members and their guests took to the field for our Annual Charity Guest Day. This year was particularly poignant as we honoured our dear friend Carmel who died last year during COVID from Ovarian cancer.
The setting was particularly festive as everyone made a supreme effort to wear the Ovarian “teal”.
Lunch was held at the Brighton Clubhouse. Judith welcomed Carmel’s daughter Shannon who kindly agreed to attend and she even baked her mother’s famous banana cake which was given as a raffle prize.
…. and the WINNERS were ….

Day 2 – The Sandra Ritchie Plate.
This year’s winner was Dot Stannard with a great round of 38 pts, closely followed by Elaine Pausewang who took home the “crying prize”.
Anticipation and expectation rose to fever pitch as our glamourous and glitzy Rock Star celebrities gathered for this gala extravaganza!
The ‘who’s who of attendees ……..

2021 Opening Day
A warm overcast day and 51 Nepean girls went out to play golf.
We overcame the new COVID restrictions put in place at midnight, unbeknown to some and the lack of working toilets after we came off the course but managed to christen the “Beer Garden” with a great lunch provided by Rosie and Gill.
A big welcome to the 3 new members who played today … Mandy, Arlene and Ha.

COVID Testing Station – January 2021
A stark reminder of the gravity of the pandemic when our own carpark was taken over for COVID testing.
2020 Christmas Lunch
COVID restrictions were lifted just in time for the Brighton Savoy to welcome us for our Annual Christmas lunch. Less mingling, apart from with those on your table but a couple of breakouts were ok!
New outdoor tables for the Pavilion
The Pavilion Trustees have provided 3 new outdoor tables for use by all the Pavilion clubs. It is anticipated that Nick and Jarrod will further enhance this area over the coming weeks.
