Sports Convenor: --Bob Glass
In 1996 The Club the club decided to run a Golf Competition, the object of the event being to raise funds for Charity Donations. Hence 1996 saw the beginning of:
THE ROTARY CLUB OF STRATHENDRICK ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF AM AM COMPETITION AT THE SHIAN GOLF COURSE BALFRON
Fifteen years later this annual event is still taking place on the second Saturday in August. As a result to date nearly £91,000 has been raised to donate to charities.
In 1996 some £900 was raised and this has increased year by year until this year, 2010, the sum of £11,400.was raised.
Much of the praise for this effort must go to Roger Short, who for all of the those fifteen years acted as convenor of the organising committee, cajoling and persuading sponsors, doing the entries, organising the start times and above all ensuring the logistics for the success of the event were in place.
After that time it is no wonder that Roger has decided to call it a day and retire to a well earned rest.
Bob Glass has taken over as convenor and we wish him well.
The Rotary Club of Strathendrick is most grateful to The Balfron Golf Society for the facility of their beautiful course on a busy Saturday in August. If you are in the area and would like to play this exceptional course Balfron Golf Society may be contacted via: www.balfrongolfsociety.org.uk
Our thanks also go to over 120 sponsors, all the members of The Rotary Club of Strathendrick, their wives, partners and friends together with the many non Rotarian helpers who work so hard and do so much to make this event successful.
