Happy 90th Birthday Anne Kilby
.
This week the Ladies Section celebrated the 90th birthday of long-term Longcliffe member Anne Kilby. In our monthly stableford competition we played for the 1934 Anne Kilby Salver which will become an annual fixture.
Anne joined Longcliffe in 1979 and became Ladies' Captain 7 years later, when she was the first lady to join the Men's Captain in the drive-in, so already a ground-breaker. Anne has served on the ladies' committee for a total of 14 years as well as being President of the County Vets in 2013/14. If you check out the Trophy Boards in the clubhouse you will see 'A. Kilby' on all of the ladies' boards and several of the mixed ones, including being Ladies' Club Champion.
Anne has been an inspiration to us all and we were very happy to celebrate this special birthday with her. Michael and his staff set up a temporary tee for us to play Hole 1 as 90 yards, and surprised Anne with a personalised flag for her to keep, shown below in the photo.
Happy Birthday Anne....!!
