The Royal Canadian Air Force Associations’ first Golf Day and barbecue for summer 2017 will be held on Monday 26 June 2017. This day will be called the Lew Black Memorial Golf Day in memory of former President of 201 (Confederation) Wing Lew Black, who passed away on June 6, 2016.
Lew was also a very well-liked member of the Cornwall Curling Club, and was a member of its Board of Directors. A special invitation is extended to Club members who would like to take part in this RCAF Assoc. tourney.
The RCAF Assoc. will be collecting a $2.00 donation at the door and this, along with whatever the revenue created during this event, will be donated to the Mikinduri Children of Hope, which was a charity that was very near and dear to Lew’s heart.
Golfing will take place at the Glen Afton Golf Course, located 20 minutes west of Charlottetown and on 4608 Route 19 in Nine Mile Creek with the first tee time beginning at 1000 hrs (10 am for those of us not in the military) The cost is $32.00 walking or $40.00 with cart and all golfers are to register with Sports Chair Paul Miller at the Golf Course prior to 1000hrs. If you have any questions, please contact Paul at paulmiller@bellaliant.net The bbqs are held after the golfers have finished and are at the home of Past President Dan Miller and his wife Phyllis, 249 Upton Road in Charlottetown beginning around 3:00.P lease bring your own beverages and whatever you would like to bbq, everything else is provided, including tea or coffee.
Soeaking of golf, Cornwall Curling Club members are also reminded of our 17th annual 9 hole, best ball annual Scurling club golf tourney on June 17 at beautiful Countryview Golf Club, route 19 in Fairview. $40 entry fee includes golf, lunch and a chance to win great prizes (almost nobody goes home empty-handed). The “best ball” scramble format makes it great for golfers of all experience levels (or lack thereof!). We try to match the teams as evenly as possible.
The signup sheet will be up at the Annual General Meeting on May 26, or you can contact Gary O’Sullivan at bantamgary@gmail.com or 902-675-2280.
