Lady Captain, Jane Tyrer, welcomed members and their guests to a fantastic Royal Ascot Ladies Day at “Royal” Gathurst on Thursday 19th June 2025.

The weather was beautiful as our fantastic ladies were dressed up to the nines, bringing the style and the glamour to an absolutely memorable day.

Welcomed by two lovely Shetland ponies it was fitting that MyLife Charity, GGC’s captains’ charity for the year, brought them down to visit from Thompson House in Standish.

The event was a huge success, prosecco on arrival, a big screen showing the races, special cocktails being prepared and an afternoon tea that was befitting such a day.

The event raised over £1,000 for MyLife and along with our overall Ladies Day race card winner, there was a game of heads & Tails as well as the prestigious Best Dressed award too – it really was a day that will be remembered for a long time to come.
