As this article reveals,thischoice of Jill’s to kindly support the team over her year as Lady Captain, subsequently proved to bea popular choice amongst the incredibly kind and very generous lady members of the Bolton Golf Club.

Jill’s captaincy came to an end on Tuesday 22nd March 2011 and today she visited Team Secretary Gillian Gregoryto hand over the proceeds of her very successful collecting for the team during the last year.

Gillian Gregory was absolutely amazed to be presented with a huge cheque donation to the team for the marvelous sum of £1,147.80.
