LIBBATON GOLF CLUB CHARITY SKYDIVE
On 8th September, five brave souls launched themselves out of an aircraft at 12,000 feet,
to raise money for the Club’s charities which, this year, are
The North Devon Children’s Holiday Foundation and Chemo-Hero - Kindness in a Box.
From Left to Right they are:-
Aidan Griffiths, Rachael Griffiths, Matt Wooden, Gary Griffiths and Michael Griffiths

It is fair to say that all five were nervous but excited in equal measure.
It was an overcast day but a break in the cloud enabled spectators to see the parachutists leave the aircraft and free-fall for about 45 seconds which, according to all five, was breathtaking.
When the parachutes were opened they took control of the cords for part of the descent to steer themselves to the landing site.
Back on terra firma they all agreed that the whole day was a totally exhilarating experience.
The Charity Committee of Libbaton Golf Club wish to thank the five who took up the challenge and all those who sponsored the event.
The magnificent sum of £1,428 was raised. Thank you.

LIBBATON GOLF CLUB ANNUAL CHARITY DAY
Supporting The North Devon Children’s Holiday Foundation & ChemoHero – Kindness in a box
Saturday 23rd June 2018

A Huge Thank You to everyone who helped towards this event and to all those who played - what a fantastic day.
On 23rd June, Libbaton Golf Club held its Annual Charity Day Competition to raise money for the Club’s charities which this year are
The North Devon Children’s Holiday Foundation and ChemoHero - Kindness in a Box.
The North Devon Children’s Holiday Foundation takes seriously ill children, with their carers, on a holiday of a lifetime to Disney in Florida. Photographs taken during the latest holiday in April show some of the children swimming with dolphins. The pure joy on their smiling faces says it all!
ChemoHero - Kindness in a Box is a charity set up to provide a box of goodies to those undergoing chemotherapy. The box includes hand cream, a drink, snacks, honey (donated by Quince Honey Farm), wipes and many other useful items.
Ninety-four golfers took part in the competition - the weather was perfect and the course in great condition. The Charity Committee wish to thank all those who entered the competition, sponsored a hole, made a donation, bought a lot in the auction or bought raffle tickets. Thanks to your generosity, the marvellous sum of £3,826 was raised. For a golf club with a relatively small membership, this is a wonderful achievement.
Thank you.
