There was too much to put on the blog last week so now we thank everyone who contributed in some way.
The following people kindly donated 20 euros a hole (some more than one!). So generally there were 2 sponsors names at each hole.
.

hole sponsorship had a fantastic response so 2 sponsors per hole………
.
These were the hole sponsors:
Kam Cheema & Iyesha, Byron & Denise at Diversity Golf, Barry Answer, Ricky Comber, Jeff Lightle, Steve Lancaster, Gro Olsen, Mark Hudson, Fran Thomas, Dan Hyde, Pete Elgar, Ken & Alicia Saunders, Phil & Helen Cooke, The Clover Bar, Graham White, John Killeen, Pat Whitty, Bob Whitty, Marty Roy, Jan & Kristen Skjold, Dorothy & Sandy Simpson, Dave & Kim Lloyd, Neil & Lynn Simpson, Liz Beaton, Paddy McGee, Borre Hagen, Darren Lenny, Pat Hughes, Peter Reeves, Tony Andrews, Stuart Taaffe, and Paul Knight.
Others donated prizes to the raffle, which was very well supported.
Borre Hagen, Bob & Pat Whitty, Pat Hughes, Gro Olsen, Neil Simpson, Peter & Jane Mitchell, Barry Barker, Tom Mc Farlane, Ian Murnin, Dorothy & Sandy Simpson
In the raffle the main fundraiser was an Australian world cup rugby union shirt, which went for 210 euros. David Lyons played in the back row, the majority at no 8, and played 44 times for Australia between 2000 and 2007. Started every game in the 2003 world cup losing in the Final 20 -17 to England.
He played for the following teams: Barbarians, New South Wales, Waratahs, Scarlets, Stade Français, Australia. He played 83 consecutive games for the Waratahs with is a record for an Australian.

Anyone going in the water on hole 11 had a 1€ forfeit, although the kindly tee position meant that not as much was raised as we hoped.
The end result was a total of 2,315 euros going to cancer research. Thanks to everyone who helped or contributed in any way and hopefully progress will be made against this horrible disease.
We appreciate this reply from Lindsay at Cancer Research after captain Ken Saunders contacted her.

Hi Lindsay
Thanks for getting in contact. I am the captain of the Condado de Alhama golf society which is based in Condado de Alhama, Alhama de Murcia, Murcia, Spain. Our day went really well and to date we have raised 2315 euros.
Please visit the golf society website at
cdagolf.com, for more details of the day to get a better idea of what took place Friday, and also during the next few days we will be publishing all the sponsors and donors involved.
Obviously the amount raised was in euros but we will convert this into sterling and perhaps you could advise us the best way to deposit the funds with you.
All who participated thought it was a worthwhile cause, and in fact I played with one player who would not be with us now had he not been given the opportunity to trial an experimental chemotherapy drug through Cancer Research UK. He has now made a full recovery.
Kind regards,
Ken Saunders
CDA Golf Society Captain

Hi Kenneth,
Thank you for joining the fight against cancer by holding your Charity Fundraising Golf Competition on the 11th August. I’m sorry that we weren’t able to get in touch before the day, but I do hope that it all went well? I would love to hear all about it!
My name is Lindsay and I’ll be your fundraising contact at Cancer Research UK. You can contact me directly on 01865 332788 or simply reply to this email, it would be great to hear from you.
Once you’ve collected up all the donations, I can send you over all the details of how to send us your kind donation, or feel free to put them on to your Just Giving page.
Our bold ambition is to accelerate progress within the next 20 years, so that at least three-quarters of people with cancer will survive. Your support now will bring forward the day when all cancers are cured and we couldn’t do it without you.
I am sorry we weren’t in touch before the day, but I would love to hear all about it!
