VERY SUCCESSFUL INAUGURAL LV= SOS KIT AID MIDLANDS GOLF DAY
Ullesthorpe Court Hotel, Leicestershire was the host venue for the highly successful inaugural LV= SOS Kit Aid Midlands Golf Day, organised primarily by SOS East Midlands Regional Co Director Gary Welsh and supported by Dave Evrell (Golf Manager) and the wonderful staff at the hotel. Teams came from as far afield as Bath (Bear at Box) and Cardiff (Spindogs Media) and one golfer even flew in from Dubai to attend.
19 teams played for a variety of prizes, and the winning team was "Teamlink" being led by MD Mark Gardner who won with 91 points. Undoubtedly the highlight of the day was a fun Q&A session with leading referees Wayne Barnes, Dave Pearson and Chris White, brilliantly hosted by Welsh and Lions legend John Taylor who had some great stories of his own. The referees were at their sparkling best with many humorous stories from on and off the field and the 80 players present thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, despite the inclement weather.
LV= SOS Kit Aid was particularly pleased to have twelve of the best referees present because it gave SOS a chance to thank all referees in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales for their wonderful support of LV= SOS Kit Aid over the years. Also present were our wonderful LV= SOS celebrities- Welsh LV= SOS Kit Aid ambassador Graham Price MBE and fellow British Lion Tom Smith.
We hope this will be the first of many Midlands Golf Day's and it will return even bigger and better next year.
