LIBBATON GOLF CLUB
Supporting The North Devon Children’s Holiday Foundation & Northern Devon Foodbank for 2019
In the grand scheme of things Libbaton is a relatively small club but year after year, thanks to the generosity of its members, locals to the area and visitors to the club, achieves marvellous results and 2019 has been no exception. Through various events and challenges £7,000 was raised for charity.
On 2nd November, Robin Buckland of the North Devon Children's Holiday Foundation and Sue Beer from the Northern Devon Food Bank were each handed a cheque for £3,500 by Ben James, the Club President.

ABSEIL FOR OUR CHARITIES
On a cold and blustery day, at the top of the 200 foot cliffs at Hartland Point, we both had the same thought. “Oh poo, what the hell are we doing?” Neither of us having experienced abseiling before we were both wishing we were somewhere else! We were given harnesses and hard hats - not the most attractive look - and when we got to the edge, instructions on what to do and what not to do. And one by one, we went over the top into the unknown. The hardest part was getting over the very uneven ground at the top of the cliff but once that was cleared and we were on the cliff face proper, we were on our way. The wind buffeted us a couple of times and we swung like a pendulum, but we made it safely to the base of the cliff and touched down on terra firma. We both had legs like jelly and needed support across the boulders littering the shore. Once we had climbed back to the top of the cliff (no mean feat in itself), it started to dawn on us that we had really achieved something special.
All those who sponsored us have done something equally special. You helped us raise the amazing sum of £845.50.
Thank you so much. This will be added to the charity pot which we are hoping this year will be in excess of £7,000 and will be divided equally between the North Devon Children’s Holiday Foundation and The North Devon Food Bank with cheques being presented to the Charities’ representatives on Presentation Night on 26th October.
We are now wondering what outrageous thing we can do next year!
Thank you again.

Thank you again.

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.
