132 golfers took to the fairways at Dale Hill Golf Club last week for the tenth Anniversary Just a Drop Charity Golf Day.

The event – sponsored for the ninth consecutive year by Jetset, saw 33 teams from the travel industry teeing off on the Ian Woosnam Championship Course on a gloriously sunny September day at the Dale Hill Hotel and Golf Club in Sussex.

Players from all sectors of the travel industry took part and congratulations go to Andrew Nicholson who rounded off the day as the Champion Golfer for 2013.

Guest speaker comic Ian Irving entertained the guests at dinner with the fantastic sum of over £19,000 being raised at the charity auction. 

Fiona Jeffery OBE, founder of Just a Drop, said, "Who would have thought that a conversation over a glass of wine at an ITT Conference would lead to the UK travel and tourism industry's most popular annual golf tournament, with Just a Drop's Golf Day celebrating its 10th anniversary. hilst my knowledge of the sport and my swing have sadly not changed over the last decade, thanks to the incredible goodwill of so many people – whether they are organisers, sponsors, golfers, prize donors or bidders in the auction – over the last ten years, their collective support has raised over £125,000 and helped transform the lives of over 500,000 people across 120 projects in 27 countries; a truly fantastic achievement.” 

Thanks to everyone who supported the event: players, hole sponsors, prize donors, Graham McKenzie of Travelmole for the 'Beat the Mole' Par 3 Challenge and of course our event sponsor Jetset - quite simply, the day would not have happened without them all.  

John Bond from Jetset and Giles Harper were also presented with an outstanding contribution award by Just a Drop in recognition of their support and ongoing commitment to the event and the charity.

The 11th Just a Drop Charity Golf Day will be returning to Dale Hill on 3rd September 2014.
