2nd Annual Toby McCredie Golf Day - 27th Nov 2007

What a fantastic day ! It was a little warmer on the course this year so luckily we were well served by Ro and Bec on the drinks cart, and I am sure that everyone would agree that they were much better than me in making sure that all the teams got a drink, although I still think I have it over them in the good looks department. Overall it was a beautiful afternoon for golf and the staff at Woodlands could not have presented the course in better condition.

There was of course some intriguing team tactics and the inevitable questionable score card or two but for the most part everyone played in the spirit of the day and the winning team from Life Bioscience scraped in by the narrowest of margins despite finishing with a bogey on their last hole.

Team Noonan were up to their old tricks claiming a couple of the on course competitions however they were disqualified on the basis that they more than likely didn't deserve it. They do deserve a special mention for the lovely pink shirts, however next time your in Bali getting your shirts made you might want to check the sizes a little more carefully.

After a long afternoon on the course we retired to the bar for a few drinks to freshen up before dinner and then were treated to a beautiful meal in the dining room at Woodlands. After a very emotional video presentation from SIDS and Kids, we were privileged to have Stan Alves speak to us and I think everyone would agree than Stan's words were both thought provoking and inspiring, and we thank Stan for his generosity by giving of his time and sharing his experiences with us.

The charity auction was a great success, again in no small part due to the enthusiasm, quick wit and even well timed insults of Ashley Bramwich who brought out the best in those bidding on the night. So once again thank you to Ashley for your support.

We still have a bit of accounting and collecting to do but it looks like we have had another great result, so to all who attended on the day we appreciate your generosity and we look forward to seeing you again next year.

Thank you for your support! SIDS and Kids Victoria could not do it without you!
