what happened next…
….. and a Passage to Kolkata!
Members of the Society visited Kolkata in November to see
Future Hope. Read here about the trip.
The Calcutta Golf Society charity day took place on Friday 8 September. Eighty golfers took part. In
addition to CGS members and their guests, teams from Noble Caledonia, the Penguins RFC, and Walton
Heath Golf Club took part. We were blessed by wonderful weather and a course in excellent condition.
Tim Grandage, the founder of Future Hope, and his wife Erica attended the lunch and Tim talked briefly
about the work of the charity and their plans for the future.
A splendid lunch was followed by a live auction run by the celebrated auctioneer Edward Bridger-Stille
There was some spirited bidding for a range of outstanding auction items. The event also included a
silent auction beforehand and a raffle. In all the sum of over £35,000 was raised for the Future Hope
Charity - enough for them to create three new classrooms with some left over for other projects.
The winning teams of the golf day were as follows - Overall Winners - Richard Grandison, Di Mistry, Drew
Nicholson, Ian Ray , 2nd place - Andy Fair, Peter Thwaite, Colin Patrick, Gordon Mizner, 3rd place - Andrew
Carr, Sachin Gupta,Vikas Gupta, Paul Heron. Habib Amir and Patrick King won the nearest the pin
competitions, and Tom Ashworth won the longest drive competition.
Our thanks go to all participants and especially to those who donated prizes to the auctions and raffle.
