2024: Heyens Farewell Event (11.12.)



Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

This Wednesday was scheduled as the annual “Christmas Present Day” where everyone was bringing a present for each other.  We all did bring presents, but these were as part of the Three Kings’ Toys Appeal for the children of families who were so badly affected by the DANA floods in the Valencia region.

 

It was also the “Heyens Farewell Event”. Robert and Lief are moving away and they sponsored today’s competition.  The format was a qualifying Individual Stableford.  23 members took part, on this wintery cold day.  Congratulations to all the winners.  Looking at the scores, Division 1 had it over Division 2 this week with some very good results.

 

All the best to Robert and Lief

After the prize giving, we stayed on to a glass of cava and some tapas, toasting a fond farewell to Robert and Lief and thanking them for their support and commitment to the Society, with Robert being a previous Captain and Lief in her role of Treasurer.  We wish them the very best in their new home.  They will be sadly missed.

 

It was great to see Helmut Treiber and his wife Beate joining us in the farewell to Robert and Lief, and we are all looking forward to Helmut’s speedy return to golf.
