Put July 8th in your diary - Captain's Charity Fun Day!!
I am asking for your support. On Saturday July 8th I will be privileged to host The 2017 Captain’s Day – I sincerely hope that you, your families and your friends will be able to join in the competition or simply the fun events that will go to make up what I know will be a truly memorable day. For those who do participate in the competition I promise you additional challenges to test your accuracy on both fairway and green and a chance to pit your skill against our Head Coach Bruce on the 12th tee. Beat Bruce and for a £2.00 wager you get £5.00 in return – and imagine the bragging rights! At the 9th there will be The Captain’s tipple, Whiskey or Brandy with your coffee or Pimms for the ladies if that is their preference. There will be “off-course” competitions too; for young and old(er) together with the now famous PRGC Buffet lunch. Now I repeat: On behalf of Rennie Grove Hospice Care I am asking for your support – even if you cannot be with us on the day. Often when that has been the case in the past the generosity of Members has been extended in the donations that have simply been given to me before the event. I now extend that opportunity to all Members. If you are unable to attend The Captain’s Day I ask you to place your donation in the envelopes provided; write on the envelope “Captain’s Day Donation” together with the amount and place it in the Competitions Cards box. If you give in this way your donations will be collected and added to the money we raise on the day. I have been blessed to see at first-hand the nurses at work who provide a service that is beyond imagination. Privileged to be chosen as the Charity’s Inaugural Ambassador in a conversation with its Director of Nursing, Sue Varvel I asked her to give me one thing that she would like me to say in my presentations of the wonder and the work of this incredible organisation. She said:”Rennie Grove is not simply about helping people with a life-limiting illness to die, but to live”. In those final months with my own beloved wife we experienced that truth, rarely talking of the illness; often talking of the next chore to be done or the mess that I had made in the kitchen; we lived life as we always had, together through all things.
