The first Annual Golf Tournament of The Event Industry Golf Society (TEIGS) took place at the Donnington Grove Country Club, Newbury, Berkshire on Thursday 27th September – a wonderful golf course.
Cardiff Council/ Wales Rally GB were the principal sponsors; also sponsored by Showsec International, Showman’s Show, HelloWorld, Main Event, Finnforest UK Ltd and Kingfisher Marquees & Ibex Event Hire - a very special thanks to them for making it all possible.
There were over twenty golfers from various companies and local authorities in the events industry. Ed (Stewpot) Stewart and Pete Sands (Elvis Presley impersonator) were also present and before long there was much camaraderie amongst the players.
At the dinner the following were announced as the winners.
1st Michael Mann, Freelance Consultant, H/C 12 net - 37 points
2nd Steve Reynolds, Showsec International, H/C 11 net – 34 points
3rd Darren Cross, Sands Door Security Ltd, H/C 12 net – 33 points
The Longest Drive and the Nearest the Pin competitions were won by John Dennis, Sands Door Security Ltd and Keith Morgan, Cardiff Council respectively.
Congratulations to them all.
When the players returned to the Clubhouse, they were ready to relax and join in the evening’s festivities which included a first class dinner, prize giving and a special cabaret spot by “Elvis Presley” who was given a standing ovation. Also the nominated charity - the Variety Club of Great Britain was given a donation of £200 during the dinner.
