For the past number of years, JFC Manufacturing Co Ltd, Tuam, have organised a Charity Golf event, for a number of worthy Charities at Claremorris Golf Club. The event has proved to be a huge success in every way especially for the designated Charities, who have benefited in a very significant way.

This year the designated Charity was GOAL. The format for the golf was a 4 Ball AM AM with a Shot-Gun start on Friday 26th June at 1.30 pm. The cost of a team was just 200 euro which included a BBQ steak dinner at the clubhouse. A great range of unusual and very valuable prizes were on offer compliments of JFC and a number of other sponsors.

In addition, there was a Fundraising “Dance for GOAL” at the McWilliam Park Hotel that night where Country and Western Band Stephen Smith & his band, with special guests Ray Lynam and Matt Keane entertained the crowds.

The 1st prize for the winners of the JFC Golf Charity event was a trip to St Andrews “The Home of Golf” sponsored by JFC, with return flights sponsored by the generosity of Padraig O’Ceidigh of Aer Arann. At a recent get together to announce this sponsorship, John Concannon, sincerely thanked Aer Arann for this very valuable sponsorship, and paid a special compliment to Padraig O’Ceidigh for his bravery and foresight in setting up Aer Arann as a topflight Air Carrier which is such a great boost to the West of Ireland.

He also thanked all the various teams for taking part and the large number of generous sponsors. He paid tribute to Claremorris Golf Club for facilitating, JFC in hosting this special Charity event.
