Invitation to International Wire & Machinery Association (IWMA) golf day

Executive board members of the ITA and sister association the IWMA meet every year to discuss matters of mutual interest like the exhibition calendar, shared booths at some exhibitions, joint technical conferences etc. At the last meeting of the associations the IWMA invited the ITA to ask members whether they would like to participate in the IWMA golf day.

In fact the ITA did some time ago run its own golf day and there is still a winner’s trophy available. A limited number of places have been made available to ITA on a first come first served basis.

The popular IWMA annual golf day will take place on Wednesday 10 June 2009 at the very well appointed course at Fairhaven Golf Club in Royal Lytham St Annes in the northwest of England. The Fairhaven website is www.fairhavengolfclub.co.uk.

This event has featured in the IWMA’s list of social events for many of the IWMA’s nearly 40 years’ existence and has been at Fairhaven for the last 18 years, a sure sign of the popularity of this highly challenging course that has in the past been used for qualifying tournament for the Open Golf Championship.

The format of the day is a Stableford match, ideal for giving both low and high handicap players equal opportunities to win either the Chairman’s Cup for members or the Guest Shield for their guests. Following an invariably enjoyable day of competition a Golf Dinner, hosted by the IWMA’s “Captain of Golf” Don Tucker is held at the Glendower Hotel on the St Annes seafront.

Thanks to the generosity of many IWMA member organisations and individuals there is always a fine selection of prizes for first, second and third places for both guests and members as well as for “nearest the pin”, “longest drive” and “two’s”.

If you are interested in booking for this popular event please contact the ITA Secretariat as soon as possible.
