Eastern Region Charity Golf Day – 19th July 2011

A great day’s golf was enjoyed by many at The Channels Golf Club, Chelmsford for the Eastern Region Charity Golf Day.

This is a joint Golf Day, involving Regions 16, 17, 18 and 19 and was superbly organised by Gerry Woodruff (an event he has organised for the past 7 years). It is a fun day but has a serious side in that there is a £1000.00 prize fund, which is divided up amongst the top three teams who had chosen a nominated charity prior to the day. The winning team from each Region will also be going to the National Finals in September.

It was a wonderful day’s golf. The weather was superb and the course in excellent condition. The course itself is a mature parkland course and having been built mainly on restored land it has numerous lakes and undulating fairways.

The evening culminated in the dinner and prize giving. This was Gerry’s last Golf Day as organiser and I am glad it went so well for him, but it is being organised next year by Nigel Davies (National Councillor for Region 16) and I would like to take this opportunity to wish him every success. After 7 years organising such a successful event, it was a real pleasure to present Gerry with The Association Award – well deserved.
