Our Annual Golf Day!

This time last week we were holding our annual Golf Day. Full sun today – not so much last Friday but so much better than it could have been. Just a couple of bursts of rain so we’ll take that.

We had a full course at Bush Hill Park Golf Club, with 84 golfers playing. For the first time ever we had not one but two ‘holes in one’! Congratulations to Pat Anning and Lee Fickling (who happens to be the Pro at Bush Hill Park).

Congratulations to our winning team – previous champions in 2014 – Paul Mason, Gareth Mason, Huw Mason and Mark Burrows – with 98 points.

I think that beer in our Pimms Marquee must have helped Paul!

The winning team!
In the evening we had a great indoor BBQ, and our auction, with the now infamous auctioneer, Ben Collins, extracting much needed funds out of his audience!

We are delighted to report that we raised £11,500 on the day which will really help in the furtherance of the work of Beyond Ourselves in Zambia.

Thank you so much to all who supported the day. We really enjoyed the day - it is so nice spending the day with what feels like our Beyond Ourselves UK family.

Next year’s date is already is the diary – Friday 16th June 2017. If you would like to play next year, save the date!
