LOT’s Sunshine Coaches and the Annual Golf Days Partners: Mullion Golf Club Variety Club Duration: On Going Staff: Project Coordinator

Description:
LOT had the opportunity to acquire a Variety Club Sunshine Coach in 1997; the minibus with a tail lift, was intended to help LOT deliver activities in the community, and to include children with disabilities. The Golf Section of the Variety Club provided the bulk of the money needed, with Safeway’s South- West making a donation of £2000; LOT was asked to contribute £2000, but did not have this amount of money.

Thanks to the generosity of Mullion Golf Club, LOT was able to raise the amount. The Club offered LOT the course for a day, free of charge, to run a competition, which would be followed by a raffle in the evening, when prizes were given.

Having acquired the minibus, the golf club then allowed the golf competition to become an annual event; the proceeds cover the cost of tax, insurance and maintenance.

The Variety Club asked if LOT would like a second Sunshine Coach, without tail lift; in March 2001 this minibus was presented to us. Our contribution was £4000, so LOT was especially grateful to Mullion Golf Club for their continuing generosity. All the staff and members are amazing in their corporate and individual support.

LOT has a partnership arrangement with the ever growing Junior section of the club.

Lizard Outreach Trust Golf Day 2008 Mullion Golf Club invited Lizard Outreach Trust to organise its annual golf competition, to raise funds for the running of its Variety Club Sunshine Coach. The day was a huge success, raising around £1800. There were many players from many clubs, Exeter, Taunton, Burnham, Bowood Park Wiltshire, Cheriton Bishop, Leamington, St Enodoc, Truro, Falmouth, Killiow, Cape Cornwall: the most distant club was represented by a young man from Perth, Australia.

84 years old Mrs Jo Trapnell, former Ladies Captain and President of the Royal North Devon Golf Club.

A special competitor, particularly given the challenging weather, was 84 years old Jo Trapnell from the Royal North Devon. The weather was kind in giving sunshine but not so kind with the howling wind that blew for most of the day, keeping scores low.
In total there were 2 Junior teams and 37 in the main competition.
The Junior section of Mullion Golf Club organised a terrific raffle for their funds: they benefit greatly through their access to this minibus.
The day is an important one in the calendar for LOT as it not only raises money for the upkeep and running of the minibus, but also keeps the contact and communication with local people and supporters.
The day started at 8.30 a.m. and ended with the presentation of prizes in the clubhouse at 8pm. Peter Moyle Captain of the Club presented prizes.

The main event was run on a Stableford points system with different scoring throughout the holes.
• Men’s & Mixed winners were;
N.Murphy, J Hall, A Harry, S Martin with 96 points

• Ladies winners were:
S Markham, H Carson, S Moyle, M Howells 85 points

• Junior winners were;
T Neal, F Coventry, D Kelsall, B Burrows 104 points

LOT is very grateful to Mullion Golf Club, Gerry Fitter and all the officers, the members and the Junior section for their continued support.

We look forward to an innovative and exciting format for next year so put the date in your Golf diary now !

The 2004 annual golf day was held at Mullion Golf Club on Wednesday 24th August. There were 4 Junior team entries and 24 adult teams. Some of our very promising youngsters played in the main event. In fact the team of Alex & Michael Cook, Leo Acklin and Daniel Wagstaff came third with a score of 108 points!

The first prize in the competition went to a visiting team captained by former County soccer player Duncan Powell from St Austell. Other prize winners were the Navy quartet of Simon Lewis, Gary Davis, David Howe and Nigel Thwaites(3rd), with S.Willett, N.Watters, M.Hitchens and Helen Carson (4th). Nearest the pin prizes for 8th & 16th holes went to Ben Wilson and Richard Lane with David Howe picking up the prize for the longest drive on the 18th fairway. Beau Meagor won the two Chelsea match tickets in the free draw. The weather on the day was kind except for a most difficult wind. It was, as usual a most pleasant “local” day with excellent support for this very local charity. Since these days were initiated in 1997 somewhere in the region of £7,000 has been raised.

The next LOT Golf Day at Mullion will be on Wednesday 7th September 2005; to find out more, email LOT at info@lizardoutreachtrust.org
