Our first Silves Charity Day, it clearly was not about winners but about trying to help a young lady in need of urgent medical treatment. However it was a fantastic day when the two Silves based clubs came together in aid of Monica, the daughter of Fatima our bar manager. Apart from the funds raised a great fun day was had by all with good food supplied by Osvaldo and his team. Lively music from J.J Johns and not least an entertaining Auction performed by Simon Arnes who managed to squeeze every last cent out of the bidders. Rob Cheney also helped boost the fund with his beat the Pro event on the 16th Hole as did Patrick Ferreira on the 4th hole, both did a great job.
We hoped to raise in the region of €5000 although this is not official we have raised so far over €8000 with money still coming in. We will hopefully have the final figure in the next few days after our next meeting. Thank you all for your tremendous support and generosity, and thank you to all those who donated to our cause. Also a big thank you to all those people who donated but could not be with us on the day..
