ACT (Arts and Community in Thornbury) are hosting their Second Charity Golf Day in aid of the community project to build a new arts and performance centre in Thornbury.

There are three perpetual trophies to be won this year. Catherine Johnson, our founder patron, has donated a trophy for the best mixed team performance whilst the best ladies’ team will win The Bond Girls Rosebowl kindly donated by Bonds of Thornbury.

The best men’s team will win a trophy generously donated by Gems of Thornbury and the team with the best overall score will win four tickets to the Welsh Open in June where many players from the Ryder Cup teams will be honing their skills.

There will be a chance to win a car in a hole-in-one competition sponsored by Berkeley Vale Motors and many other prizes and chances for golfing glory.

Tee times will start at 11am from both the 1st and 10th tees and the golf format for the day will be a Stableford Bowmaker. The teams of four can be all men, all ladies or mixed – and the team entry fee of £140 includes coffee on arrival and a two course buffet after the game.

So come on golfers ~ give your support to this extraordinary and ambitious local project ~ swing into ACTion, putt your name down to play and you’ll have a ball!

Anyone interested in participating themselves, sponsoring a team, sponsoring a hole or providing competition prizes or raffle prizes should get in touch with the organisers.
