The Senior Stableford was held on a chilly but dry December day. Twenty seven seniors enjoyed the competition and (even more so) the delicious Christmas lunch laid on by Toni, Nigel and the Club House team. During the meal, the winners of the monthly competitions over the past few years were presented with their trophies by ex-club and senior captain Terry Cotton. The Xmas Stableford winner was Reg Whitelock with 38 points, with Mark Maguire in second on 37 and Mike Weston 3rd with 35. A raffle on the day raised £153 for the HomeStart charity. Overall, it was another great senior day at Folke and a big thank you to Toni, Nigel and the Club House and Centre teams for all their great work. Merry Christmas Happy New Year to all the Folke community.

Home-Start Blackmore Vale provides support to parents with at least one child under 5 who are going through a difficult time. Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very challenging, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life.

That’s when parents need support. That’s when Home-Start Blackmore Vale can help. A carefully selected trained volunteer, who has parenting experience, can visit regularly and offer emotional and practical support. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.
