Charity golf day.

Timon and Jenny Thorncroft of JT & Sons Relocations held a charity golf day in aid of the London Regiment Welfare and Benevolent Fund at Seddlescombe golf club on 18 November, 2011; a number of BAR members supported the event including some of Timon’s colleagues from the CMG.

The players enjoyed bacon rolls on arrival and then set to battle; a number of the players had only recently started playing and the course is tree lined, which proved difficult for the novices.

Despite this, the scores were impressive.  There were eight teams of four, and amazingly two teams tied on 83 points; the tied teams were Greg Wildman (Basil Fry), Malcolm Pearson (Clockwork), Rod Seeland (BCL) and Nick Flaxman of (Northern Crates) the other team was Graham Puddephatt (Reason Global), Juan Coo (JT & Sons), Kerry Doidge and Tamsin Wiggins both of (EDGC). As a result of the draw, Timon declared a putt off, and nominated Malcolm Pearson and Graham Puddephatt to decide the result: Graham managed to win by a narrow margin at the second play off hole. Nearest the pin was won by Steve Cornhill and the longest drive by his brother Richard Cornhill both of the London Regiment.

The golf was followed by a buffet and an auction expertly conducted by Captain Gary Anglin who, by writing thousands of letters, managed to obtain some wonderful auction items, resulting in over £1,200 being raised for this wonderful cause. JT and Sons has nominated the London Regiment as its charity for 2011/12 and has raised money throughout the year at various events.

Timon and Jenny are very proud of everyone who took part in the golf day considering the time of year and the predicted weather, and thank the following companies: A Williams Plumbing, Basil Fry, BCL, Chatfield Removals, Clockwork, Northern Crates, Pluscrates, Reason Global and The London Regiment for sending representatives to take part.
