The Madrugada team would like to sincerely thank The Algarve Resident, sponsors and all who took part in the charity golf day held on 8 September.
Held at the Morgado do Reguengo golf course, the event raised a total €2000 for Madrugada. Sheena Rawcliffe, The Algarve Resident managing director said ‘We chose to support Madrugada because its work has touched the hearts and minds of a wide range of people across the Algarve. The event proved so popular we had a waiting list of 28 people.’
Sponsors were: AZGolf, Porches-based suppliers of club and team sportswear and promotional merchandise; Sir Cliff Richard’s winery Adega do Cantor; glass door and window specialists Mestre Raposa in Gua; Côrte Real Gallery in Paderne and wine makers Quinta do Barranco Longo from Algoz. Golf for Greys golf society also deserves thanks for publicising the event.
The 44 participants took part in a Texas Scramble won by the Parque de Floresta team comprising golf director Alan Hodson, Lorraine Hodson, golf reception manager Ian Munro and vice president Graham Harries. Second came the Boavista team of Rod Yates, Alan Harris, Nick Bridge and Ian Holloway. Third came the team comprising Ginny Wallis-Gregory, Bob Wallis-Gregory and Colin and Linda Campbell.
The Algarve Resident announced during the charity auction held after the competition that it would be holding another Golf Charity Day next year.
Madrugada president Alison Blair says how very encouraging it is to see this type of initiative: ‘As the members of Madrugada’s management team work hard to move this much needed community project forward, members of this community are now sharing the responsibility by taking up the challenge of fund raising. With so much to achieve, it’s wonderful when a group such as The Resident and the Morgado Golf Club get together to arrange an event such as this. Our sincere appreciation goes to all who took part and to the sponsors who helped to make the event so enjoyable”
