The Insurance Charities Golf Final 2008
This year’s national final was kindly hosted by the Insurance Institute of Northampton as one of the events in their Centenary year programme. Not only did they organise an excellent venue, Collingtree Park, a championship course, but they also managed to arrange good weather! Thank you Northampton.
Players representing Insurance Institutes throughout the UK competed for the prestigious Julius Neave trophy. The eventual winner, on a sunny day with occasional interesting gusts of wind, was Nick Davenport of the Nottingham Institute, who scored an impressive 41 Stableford points. The runner up was Adrian Mackenzie, representing Peterborough, with 36 points. Joint runners up, with 35 points, were Richard Lloyd from the Royal Tunbridge Wells Institute and Gary Simmons of Chelmsford and South Essex.
The major prize (an impressive hamper) was donated by The Hamper People, who have for many years been the supplier of the hampers we send out to beneficiaries each Christmas. They also provided smaller hampers to the runners up. There were many other donated prizes and gifts including the tees which were provided by www.eventcaddie.com. Competitors and no-one went away empty-handed – as well as having had a pleasant day’s golf.
The day was rounded off with a Presentation Dinner, at which Chris Buesnel spoke about the Northampton centenary and displayed the centenary silver salver presented to them by the CII in recognition of their 100 years. Prizes were then presented by the Insurance Charities’ President Ken Davidson, who confirmed that the £2,600 raised by this year’s qualifying competitions would be put to good use in assisting past and present insurance colleagues in need.
Photographs of the event are below. Details of next year’s event, to be hosted by the Insurance Institute of Stoke-on-Trent as part of their 2009 Centenary celebrations, will appear on this site soon. We hope your institute or company will be arranging a fundraising qualifying event to put forward a finalist for next year.
