PBC Charity Golf Day

Amazing Weather, Great Golf and an excellent course at Overstone Park Resort led to an entertaining and enjoyable PBC Business Recovery & Insolvency Golf Day raising funds for Cynthia Spencer Hospice Charity

Working with the club and maintaining Covid regulations we were able to put on the PBC Business Recovery & Insolvency annual golf day hosting 36 players. 10 teams over a 2-tee start saw some impressive individual and team scores. The Nearest the Pin competitions were eagerly fought out and there was a great take up for the charity hole on the tricky 17th

Congratulations to the winners:

Nearest Pin on 4th was Richard Burkimsher
Nearest the pin in 2 on 15th was Philip Gale
Charity Hole winner was Andrew Hasker

DFA Law LLP came into the day as reigning team ball champions as well as Paul Currie defending his individual title. The team did not disappoint again this year taking the team competition. Paul Currie was in contention to win his second title but was narrowly beaten by his teammate Danny Roberts. Congratulations Danny.

Who can loosen the DFA Law LLP grip next year?

Thank you to all those who attended and made it such a fantastic day. Once we have been able to tally up the final total raised for Charity, I will let you know.

Golf Day Raises £2051 for Charity

At PBC we are delighted that our Golf Day held in September raised a fantastic £2051 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Together with other events we have been able to donate £3761 to such a great charity this year.

PBC Golf Day – in aid of Ronald McDonald Charity Houses

What a glorious day to hold a Golf Day. The sun was shining, Overstone Golf Club was in excellent condition and the event was supported by a great bunch of local Businesses and Professionals.

PBC with the support of Overstone Golf Club hosted 12 teams of mixed ability golfers. Scoring was good with a number of players under handicap. Pink was the colour of the day when it came to the Team Ball competition. It has to be said that this received mixed comments. Pressure of the Pink Ball took its toll on 10 out of the 12 teams as only 2 Pink balls made it home.

The day was all in aid of Ronald McDonald Charity Houses and we would like to thank all those who attended and contributed to the success of the day. We will be announcing the total amount raised for Charity soon.

A round of golf always brings out the competitive nature and on the day we had 5 prizes to play for…….

Congratulations to:

Guy Zarins: Nearest the Pin on Hole 4
Phil Hardcastle: Nearest the Pin in 2 on hole 15
Duncan Nicholson: Winner of the Charity Hole draw
Team Ball: Paul Currie, Tom Low, Jonathan Dolby & Danny Roberts

And the Individual Winner ***** PAUL CURRIE ***** with an impressive score of 43

We are looking forward to Next Year and hope to see everyone again for the 2020 Golf day – details to be announced

Abseil Total Exceeds Target

 

 

Back in August 2018, Natasha Pink and Jamie Cochrane took part in an abseil event which was organised by the Ronald McDonald charity to help raise much needed funds for families of sick children.

There are 14 Ronald McDonald Houses as close as is possible to specialist children’s hospitals across the country, from Southampton to Liverpool.  They provide accommodation for families whose child is receiving treatment at the hospital, free of charge, so parents can stay close to their children.

PBC are supporting the charity because of the support they have given to Kym Carvell’s family.  Kym’s baby grand daughter, Billie-Marie was born 10 weeks premature with a number of health issues.  In total, Billie-Marie has spent approximately six months of her short life in hospital (she turned two in August), and on almost every one of those days, Ronald McDonald House has provided a room for her parents to stay.

Both Natasha and Jamie really enjoyed the abseil and everyone at PBC are very proud of them.  Natasha said that it was an amazing experience and that she was very grateful to be able to support such an important cause. She is also very grateful to all those that have supported her and Jamie and donated so generously, with the latest donation taking them past the £1,000 target.  It has also taken the total earned this year from all of PBC’s events past £3,250.

If anyone else would like to donate to this very worthwhile cause, and recognise Natasha and Jamie’s bravery, please click onto the link here.

Jamie and Natasha abseil for Ronald McDonald

 

Here at PBC, we are determined to raise as much money as possible for this excellent cause.  So far we have had a charity craft fair, Kym and Jamie walked 80 miles from London Euston to Northampton and the quiz night.  We also have an extremely popular tuck shop in the office!  To date, PBC have raised an amazing £3,303 in 2017 which equates to keeping the Ronald McDonald House at Alder Hey Hospital open for two whole days and in 2018 we have raised £1,817 so far.

But we’re not stopping there!

Jamie and Natasha have taken on the next charity challenge in August 2018 which is a 500ft abseil down Liverpool Cathedral and they can’t do it without your support!  Jamie and Natasha have set up a JustGiving page so please help us made a difference for the Ronald McDonald House Charity and all the families that use it.

Further details on why PBC support Ronald McDonald, can be found here.

CHARITY QUIZ A GREAT SUCCESS

Greens Restaurant was filled with the sound of brains whirring as fourteen teams did battle at PBC’s charity quiz in aid of Ronald McDonald House at Alder Hey.  It was a night which saw the teams discover 12 is the only number which scores itself in Scrabble and 23 is the next number in the sequence 1, 40, 4 and 3.

The winners were Hewitsons (below), with a score of 128 out of a possible 150, with Tollers taking second place only 3 points behind in a good night for the lawyers.

PBC would like to thank everybody who attended and made the event such a success, with £1,799.88 being raised for charity as PBC have covered the costs for the evening.

The team’s tuck shop has also raised £71.29 so far this year, bringing 2018’s current total raised to £1,871.17. Further details about the abseil and other events will be released shortly.

And 23. Motorways with M25 junctions (anticlockwise around the M25).
