4th: Just a Drop Charity Golf Day
Last year over 120 travel industry golfers took to the fairways at Dale Hill in East Sussex for the annual Just a Drop Charity Golf Day. The event, sponsored for the 8th consecutive year by JETSET, has established itself as the best supported golf day in the UK travel trade. The golfers raised almost £16,000 at the charity auction on the day – a record breaking sum!
The 10th anniversary Just a Drop Charity Golf Day, sponsored by JETSET, will be returning to Dale Hill in Sussex on Wednesday 4th September 2013. Golfers will have exclusive use of the Ian Woosnam Championship course with complimentary buggies provided by Avis.
The event commences with a welcome breakfast for all golfers and is followed by an 18 hole stableford competition for a variety of prizes. The price also includes on course refreshments and a three-course gala meal with wine. A short prize giving ceremony follows dinner, along with guest speaker comedian Ian Irving and a charity auction with some fantastic auction lots to raise funds for Just a Drop.
Teams of four cost £595 with individual places charged at £175. Individual hole 
sponsorship opportunities are available from £295 to include one complimentary place at the gala dinner. With over 100 golfers taking part, please book early to ensure your place!
