A Ladies Open 3 Ball Waltz was held at Cahir Park Golf Club as a fundraiser for South Tipperary Hospice.

The day started with a very successful Hospice fundraising coffee morning at the clubhouse. An amazing array of homemade cakes and pastries were provided by the members. It was a sight to behold.

The coffee morning was enthusiastically supported by club members and visitors. Many thanks to Gihan Catering staff who helped club members to keep the morning running smoothly.
