Glenbervie – the Evening

 

Half Marathon

 

Duncan Cameron entertained the gathering with friendly banter while at the same time managing to relieve them of substantial funds at the Auction of some very valuable gifts which had been generously donated by friends of the family. Many other gifts also featured in a very successful Raffle.

 

 

Many people contributed to the success of the Golf Day and it is important to record our thanks. They include –

-          the Board of Glenbervie Golf Club along with the Secretary; the catering and bar staff; the greenkeeping staff; the staff of the Pro shop;

-          the generous donors of prizes for the Auction and the Raffle; the Auctioneer (Duncan Cameron); the Raffle ticket sellers(Rena Oates and Bobby Abernethy):

-          and above all the 68 golfers who supported the event by coming along and playing.

-          Thanks to the efforts of everyone, Anna’s Fund has benefited by the grand total of £1790.
