The Association has for many years supported local charities with funds being raised at our Competitions through selling raffle tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charities are nominated at our AGM (if more than one nomination received then the delegates will take a vote on which Charity to support)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last couple of years we have , in liaison with NEUVEN who co-run and sponsor , also organised a Battle of the Sexes Charity match to raise funds for a Charity supported by NEUVEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams comprising men versus women play a match with the women receiving a handicap, which will change yearly depending on the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A raffle is held and refreshments sold on the day to raise funds. Officials ,guests and players also enjoy a buffet after the match when the Battle of The Sexes Trophy is presented to the Winning Captain. Trophies are also awarded to a player of the match from both sides. After 3 matches the Women currently lead by 2-1 and will receive a reduced handicap of + 20 for this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds raised for local charities (details not available prior to 2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
