On July 27th, Jackie Stainthorpe and Caroline Garvey went to York Golf Club to play in the area final of the Coronation Foursomes. They played with Judith and Rosemary from Clitheroe Golf Club.

The course was in great condition, the greens very fast and there were four very tricky Par 3’s. They saw deer, buzzards, dragonflies and other wildlife.

Caroline and Jackie didn’t win but enjoyed the day and the company.

Turner & Townsend (T & T) continue to support fund raising for schools in Gambia. This is the 7th year that they have sponsored a golf day at Wilton Golf Club to support this great cause. Gambian education is free for all children over 7 years old, but not compulsory. Equipping most of the schools is by charitable donations. This year T & T are raising money for Cleveland Rotary, who will develop the project further by adopting the work as an International Project with the cooperation of Brusubi Rotary Club in The Gambia.
