FBGC ISLAND GAMES FUNDRAISER

On behalf of the Island Games Ladies Golf Team a very big thank you to all competitors and sponsors who helped make this such a great day.

To help with the costs of sending a ladies golf team to the Island Games being held in Jersey this year, 108 golfers turned out at Freshwater Bay Golf Club on Sunday to play in an Open Scramble. The day was a great success, with good golf being played throughout the day. This was followed by a raffle, with over £1100 being raised through this alone. There has been great generosity shown by Island businesses in donating prizes to the raffle table, and this certainly contributed to the success of the day. Special mention goes to LCM Systems, whose donation of £250 went to contributing to the golf prizes
The top places in the golf itself was a very tight affair, with only 1.3 shots covering the first 5 teams.
The prize winners of the golf were;

1st        Bob Godden, Jan Godden, Joan Martin, Chris Sprackling                55.1
2nd        Steve Cooke, George Faulkner, Robbie Faulkner, Josh Sturt            55.5
3rd        Kevin Garrett, Bill Hinchen, Hugh Morrison, Steve Sargeant           55.6
Best non competition handicap team              Conor White, Steve Orchard, Andy Rann, Dan Burgess                   54.75

Nearest the Pin on the 3rd –     Lady    Mary Rawling                        
Man     Richard Daniels
Nearest the Pin on the 14th  – Lady    Sue Keen                                
Man     Doug Stephen

At the end of the presentation, three members of the Island Games Golf Team, Sammi Keen, Lucy Burke and Carol Bingham, thanked everyone for their tremendous support, and announced that the final figure raised was £1700.
