Womens Vets Delegate Retires – A tribute to Lorraine.

Lorraine Cram “calls-it-a-day”

Lorraine Cram has been the Women’s Vets delegate for over a decade at Jamberoo Golf Club. Back in-the-day Vets was run alongside the Women’s main competition on a Tuesday. (The same members were consequently winning both the Vet and the Women’s Championships.) To overcome this the Vets was moved to a Thursday. 

When Women’s Vets became officially the first Thursday of the month, Lorraine was quick to encourage players to remain and enjoy a cup of tea and a biscuit. This socialising was extended to lunch, which Lorraine has worked hard to make it nice. She always ensured her catering was ‘quality’ often with her own home cooking. Lorraine has also recruited her family members to assist her on major Open Day and Christmas Parties. Again the quality of food served has been ‘first class’.

In recent years Lorraine was increasing her numbers and building a core group of members and so offered 2 weeks of Vets a month. However, that became too big a workload.

As President, I am extremely grateful for Lorraine’s ability and understanding of all the the Vets organisation from the management and paperwork of Women’s Vets Membership through to the ‘Mabel McKenzie Brooch and the ‘Country Championships Awards’ which must be notified through to the NSWVGA. Lorraine has done a ‘sterling’ job in all areas of this job and we thank her very sincerely for all her hard work and energy.
