INSURANCE GOLF SOCIETY..1st EVENT FOR 2018 AND RAISING MONEY FOR THE INSURANCE CHARITIES
Fri 11 May 2018
The first meeting of The Insurance Golf Society is at Thornbury (see http://www.thornburygc.co.uk/welcome-thornbury on Friday 11th May when, as well as enjoying our golf, we raise money for The Insurance Charities. The programme is:- 10.00am Coffee and bacon baps. 11.04am First tee-off 4.30pm approx. Two-course dinner plus coffee followed by our Charity Raffle and prize-giving including the “Tom Jump Cup” to the individual winning Member. For Charities Day we have team and individual competitions running simultaneously. Teams of three can either be organised among yourselves or left to the organisers to sort – team names add to the fun so please let me know in advance if you want to form a specific team! Also on this day-of-fun you can purchase “Mulligans” from Andy at £5 each (maximum 5) to be used to replace your occasional(!) bad shots (except on longest drive/nearest-the-pin). This helps to swell the amount we send to The Insurance Charities. We are hoping for good support for our first event of the season and, as always, guests are more than welcome - including ladies, who manifestly enhance the occasion. The cost for the day will be £40.00, the same as last year. Donations of prizes for both the golf and raffle would be most welcome. Please let me have your replies as soon as possible but not later than 27th April. As I will have to settle up with the Course on the day, could you please let me have the £40 in advance if possible. Online payments would be especially welcome: Barclays, 20-20-15, G&C Golfing Society A/C 53320367 (using your surname as Reference). Cheques are difficult for me to handle so if you cannot pay online, cash on the day would be the less problematical option. All responses to Mr Ian Ferguson at ianjferg@hotmail.com
