RROGA GOLF
2020 Golf Report Contributed by Stephanie Withell
Old Girls and friends of the following schools – Rangi Ruru, St Margaret’s, Craighead, Columba & St Hilda’s – met at the Waimairi Beach Golf Club to compete in our annual golf tournament. It was an early start for some who travelled from Ashburton, Hawarden and Akaroa. Friday 6th of March was a beautiful autumn day. Although the field was smaller than some years, the numbers were perfect for the venue. We all had fun, even though for some, the golf was serious. During the lunch, laughter and conversation filled the clubhouse. Again, the raffle and prize tables were fabulous thanks to Ruth Cooper (Craighead convenor), Victoria Gibbons (SMOGA convenor) and Victoria Tait (RROGA). Some ladies were fortunate to win accommodation in a beautiful Woodbury cottage or a Charteris Bay house, kindly donated by Fiona McQuade and Ali McQueen.
I wish to thank Ali McQueen, Dr Sandra Hastie, Mandy Brazier, Helen Joblin, Victoria Tait, Helen Tait, Margaret Black, Jo Dodgshun, Emma Bradley, Victoria Gibbons and Ruth Cooper who all contributed their time towards this successful event. Special thanks to our sponsors – ANZ Bank, Original Foods Baking Co, Aú Natural Skinfood, Whitehead Plumbing, Fill and Ali McQueen. If you are a golfer, then please join us next year. The 2021 date and venue are yet to be confirmed by St Margaret’s College Old Girls’ Association.

One Year On Drinks A lovely catch up was had by all, tales of times past especially mischievous Boarding House stories, were shared over wine and cheese in the Te Koraha Boardroom on the 13th of February. As always it's wonderful to see our young Old Girls wanting to keep a strong connection with the school.
