A beautiful spring day on the 23rd April greeted the 34th annual Colin Herridge Memorial READY Charity golf event, which was given added impetus by being sponsored by Ranmore Fund Management.
Twenty-seven teams took part in the competition hosted once again by Fulwell Golf Club, with the winners being “Taffy’s Tigers”, captained by Gareth Morgan. “Grip It and Sip It” came second, led by Karen Davies and with Greg Craigen’s “Team Amayse” coming third.
The real winner though, was our charity, as there was such a friendly atmosphere created by everyone that we ended up having our most successful fundraising day ever.
Our thanks go to Steve Newbold for holding such a terrific auction, and to our new President Nick Mullins, who presented the prizes and offered such a fabulous auction item that went for a record sum.
The positive, happy atmosphere created by everyone resulted in Sean Peche of Ranmore agreeing to sponsor next year’s event, so all in all a very satisfactory day!
Our thanks also to the staff at Fulwell, who provided a splendid golf course and an excellent lunch. Roll on next year!
