Champagne Moments
Club Captain Gary Holmes
got his year off to a flying
start with the Annual Dinner
Dance hosted superbly by
The Farringford, Freshwater.
Over 100 members and their guests
dined and danced the night away.
Gary introduced his Charity for the
year, The Stroke Association, in a
moving speech, he recounted how
his son Danny had suffered a stroke
after a collision during a football
match ending his endeavours in that
particular sport.
Gary paid particular tribute to
hospital staff whose care and
Club Captain Gary Holmes
and his wife Sue
dedication has meant that
Danny made a full recovery and
has been studying Golf at the
Duchy College since September,
representing their elite team
home and abroad.
The fund raising antics were
ably compared by Jay Chapman
with games of Heads and Tails
and Irish Bingo bringing the
total to date close to the £1,000
mark, thanks to prizes of
champagne donated by The Fat
Cat, Medina Wine and the past
and present Lady Captains.
