IWMA golfers defy the weather That IWMA folk are hardier than most was evident at the IWMA Golf Day on 10 th June 2009, at the beautiful Fairhaven Golf Club in Lytham St Annes, UK. The com- petition began in bright sunshine but players had to withstand long periods of torrential rain. This did not deter the vast majority of players, including for the first time a ladies section, from completing the course. Some good scores were achieved in the Stableford competition despite the weather. The Guest Shield was won by Mr P Ladums, a guest of Steel Wire Europe, whilst a popular winner of the Chairman’s Cup for members was Mr S Rika of Bar Products. The prize for best ladies score, donated by Eurowire magazine, went to Mrs B Dagnall, a guest of Goodwin Machinery Ltd. The IWMA is very grateful to a number of other organisations who sponsor prizes for the event including Cleveland Steel, XL Technologies Ltd, TM Associates, Interlink Import-Export Ltd, Hill International (NF) Ltd, Bar Products & Services Ltd, Steel Wire Europe Ltd, Birchwood Consulting and Intras Ltd. This popular event will next take place at the same venue on Wednesday 9 th June 2010. IWMA – UK Fax : +44 1926 314755 Email : info@iwma.org Website : www.iwma.org
