Having had such an awful start to 2018 weather wise, the Association’s golf committee would never have dared dream that both the weather and golf course could have been so perfect for the Annual Golf Tournament on Thursday 10th May 2018.
As always this is event is open to both members and non-members of the Association and we would like to thank all those companies who entered teams as well as those companies who kindly sponsored this event.
Our sincere thanks to Brough Golf Club for once again agreeing to host our annual event, your hospitality and catering was once again first class and extremely efficient. A huge thanks to the green keeping staff who must have worked tirelessly to get the course to such a high standard it was fantastically presented as always and finally, thank you to the Pro Shop for being so helpful sorting out all the prizes for us.
As always we take this opportunity to do some fundraising for charity. The Association’s ethos has always been to offer continual support, where possible to its nominated charities. For the eighth year now the Association has donated the funds from the golf raffle to a local children charity in Hull called, KIDS Yorkshire and Humber and we are thrilled to announce we have now donated over £5,000 to this charity over the years. Full details about KIDS can be found on www.kids.org.uk/yorkshire-humber it is a great charity that does some incredible work and the Association is delighted to offer financial support to such a worthy cause.
