The Golf Day Was A Hole Lot Of Fun

Our first golf day was a success, and not only because the weather was great!

The inaugural With Kids Golf Day, the Alan Rough Celebrity AM, took place at Mar Hall Golf Resort and Spa on Thursday 29th May.

We were joined by 72 keen golfers who took to the course and enjoyed a fun day of golf, sun and a great lunch when they came off of the 18th.

A special thanks must go to all who attended and to who gave generously in the raffle and the auction as, all in all, the day raised in excess of £4000.

We would like to thank the following teams for their participation on the day:

• Fatbuzz 
• The Forge Shopping Centre 
• Mark Hamill 
• Chattelle 
• WRI Associates 
• Primestaff 
• Excel Vending 
• Barclays 
• City Legacy 
• Mearns Castle Golf Academy 
• Kenny Hailstones. (With Kids Competition Winner) 

We were awarding prizes to the two teams with the highest scores as well as a couple of other competitions because, although it was a day of fun and relaxing golf, everyone loves a bit of healthy competition!

The first prize of a Trespass Golf Bag went to Alan rough’s team, with the second prize of a Gordon White print and golf balls went to members of Cathcart Golf Club, so well done to these two teams.

As we said earlier we held another two small competitions; the Longest Drive and Nearest the Pin, and Kerr Mann was the longest driver who won a Trespass holdall, Mark Hamill being nearest the pin won a Trespass holdall too.

So again, thanks to everyone who came along; it’s always nice to know that you are better than a golf pro as 13 people beat the pro on the 10th hole!

What's your problem? - Parents and Carers, We Want You

Come and give us your views on the day to day issues that REALLY affect you and your children's lives. School, community resources, health care, benefits / tax credits - whatever the subject we'd like to hear your thoughts and experiences. We will also try (where possible) to offer practical help on issues that you might not be able to tackle or feel you are able to on your own.

We all find our selves in difficult situations and quite often there are things in and around the area where we live that bother us. No doubt your concerns and issues are the same as those who live in the streets around you and we don't want you to go unheard. That's why we have created our Parents and Carers Group, where we aim to provide a place to discuss the issues that you feel are affecting you.

Come and have your say at our informal chat and we'll even throw in a spot of lunch! For more information on 0141 550 5770. We hope to see you there.
