I posted the following on the H4H thread but thought I would post it on here as well to get some more attention.
I know that there are alot of people on here who would like to help raise funds for Help For Heroes who cannot make it to the event or were too late to get one of the limited spaces. In my ongoing quest for prizes and auction items, I was talking to the communications director at Bushnell and she put forward a suggestion.
Bushnell are massive supporters of Help for Heroes and they are getting behind the National Golf Club Challenge. The basis is that any club can register and nominate one competition in June as a fund raising comp. This can be any normal club comp. The club can then decide how they want to raise funds on that day and it can be anything as simple as adding a £1 onto your normal competition entry fee. The top 10 mens and top 5 ladies cards are submitted and the top 3 clubs get to send a team of 10 to the final (I believe at Turnbury) then there is a final place for a team from the club that raises the most.

I thought that this was something that we could all put to our committees. I know that there may be some opposition if the captain takes offence to another cause raising money instead of his nominated charity but I thought that this was a really good, simple way of a club making a difference and it can all be tied in with a normal comp.
Let me know what you think and if anyone is willing to suggest it to their committee.
PS I have run this past Rickg and MikeH as did not want to tread on the toes of GM or the forum event.
