Spooky Story of the Week

I was talking to one of our members in the club house looking out towards court 3 and the paddock when a lady came from the paddock towards the back of court 3.. Our member said that this lady looked a lot like the queen, scarf, face and outfit... and bang on q this corgi dog came out from the paddock! Spooky!

Have a good week and sending big hug to anyone that needs one!
