Giving Back Through Golf
The second event of our sports summer saw us teeing off for a charity golf day at Dunston Hall. Raising money for Norwich Community Sports Foundation, the sun was shining for the 12 teams that joined us for 18 holes and 6179 yards of glorious golf.
Ensuring our golfers were sustained for a long session, we started with a bacon roll, coffee and teas in the Bunkers Bar. Teams were also given the chance to stock up on snacks including crisps provided by the lovely team at Kettle Foods to keep them going throughout the day.
Putting Practice
Gauntlets were thrown immediately outside the Bunker Bar, with the chance to win a four ball round of golf courtesy of Duston Hall through a putting challenge. With the total distance from the hole of three balls crowning a winner. Everyone was keen to put their putting to the test before heading out for the day.
Our teams then dispersed across the course and enjoyed the sunshine while Sarah and the Dunston Hall team kept everyone hydrated and full with the appearance of the beverage buggy. A selection of the holes were sponsored by some of the brilliant businesses we’re thankful to call friends including Metro Rod, Mortgage Advice Bureau, Mattressman, Yellowbrick Mortgages, Swiss Q, Batemans Groundworks and Hatch Brenner.
Evening Entertainment
After an eventful day out on the course, we reconvened in the Bunker Bar for a well-deserved drink, and the evening portion of the event. Following a delicious dinner from the Dunston Hall team, we were joined by the brilliant Danny Moloney from Contract Personnel who Mc’d the evening for us, encouraging everyone to part with their cash for the charity.
First, we heard from Martha, Relationship Manager from the Foundation, who shared a personal link with the charity, as well as a wider background on the difference that the charity makes to those who need it most.
The auction consisted of prizes from the amazing Gasway, William Smith, Four Agency, Dunston Hall, Hollinger Print, Junkyard Market, Antalis and of course the Norwich Community Sports Foundation. Following the auction, we came together to celebrate the winners of the day, with Anglian Demolition cinching the top team spot.
