Staff at a local building supplies firm have come up trumps for three Devon and one national charity after staging a company golf tournament.
Palladium Building Supplies which has depots in Plymouth, Ivybridge and Kingsbridge staged the golf day at Bigbury Golf Club in August and have recently made presentations to the four selected charities.
The golfers were met with perfect weather for the day-long event which culminated in a charity auction in the evening once they had completed their time on the green.
Before the auction got underway company directors Gary and Keith Olver presented prizes for the highest individual points score and the highest team score. They also presented booby prizes for those not so perfect games which included lost balls and not getting out of many bunkers! The charity auction followed with items donated by Palladium and their suppliers with Keith Olver taking the role of auctioneer.
The bids came thick and fast with a total of £3320 raised for the four charities that were represented on the night.
The overall sum raised by both the golfing tournament and the charity auction has enabled presentations of £835 to be made to each of the four beneficiary charities: Kingsbridge Triangle Centre, Rainy Day Trust, Devon Air Ambulance Trust and Gables Dogs & Cats Home in Plympton.
The Rainy Day Trust is a UK-wide charity and the only one which exists solely to support people who have worked in the UK home improvement and enhancement industry who have fallen on difficult times.
