At the end of a very wet, stormy and unsettled month we were very fortunate to have a dry, if somewhat cold day for this year’s golf competition with the rain managing to hold off until close of play.
We were delighted to welcome several new teams as well as those who have been regular entrants over the years and, with a total of 18 teams entered, the competition was once again a great success. The informal, friendly nature of the event enables both seasoned golfers and the many once-a year players to have a thoroughly enjoyable day. The event is open to both member and non-member companies and we would like to thank them all for their support which is much appreciated.
Our thanks go to the hard-working ground staff for presenting the course in wonderful condition despite the challenging weather and to the catering team, led by Barbara, who provided a delicious evening meal.
As usual, we took the opportunity to fundraise for charity and Executive Committee member Mark Woodall was able to present a cheque for £1000 to Claire Crosbie from the Hull branch of the children’s charity KIDS, www.kids.org.uk/yorkshire-humber, thanks to the generous support of the raffle and other donations. Our thanks also go to Brough Golf Club, The Double Tree by Hilton, Tesco’s, Market Weighton and Morrisons, Beverley for generously donating raffle prizes.
Claire kindly agreed to present the prizes to the winning teams and individuals who were :-
