The Editor,
Turf Talk
On behalf the Committee and myself, I would like to thank Turf Talk for the sponsorship of our Western Cape Equine Golf Day held at Rondebosch Golf Club on Friday 24th January 2025 together with their excellent advertising of the day in the Turf Talk newsletter every week leading up to the day.
As a Trust run entirely by volunteers, our income is solely dependent on donations from caring individuals and organizations and a yearly Race Day held at Kenilworth Racecourse.
This year on a beautiful Cape summers day a wonderful golf day was held with a full field of players competing for some fantastic prizes. A lot of fun was had by all and the day ended off with a lively auction and dinner where much needed funds for the Trust were raised.
A special thank you to all the sponsors for their generous prizes and auction items as well as to the golfers that participated. The day would not have been possible without the hard work and expertise of Jo and Grant Knowles as well as to their assistants on the day– they are an amazing couple who are always ready to help when approached to raise funds for the Western Cape Equine Trust.
We hope this will become a permanent event during the week leading up to the Met.
With sincere thanks and best wishes.
KEN TRUTER
CHAIRMAN
