Friday 8 May 2026
Wind-assisted, the long shots went well past the tee on the way out and just not far enough on the way back. But that's golf and last Friday it was our Fund Raising Golf tournament at Omaha Beach Golf club.
50 Golfers, half of the Kawau Rescue crew, another 35 non playing guests, made for robust competition on and off the links. Inside the club house it was good cheer for all - lovely dinner, great bidding, wonderful hosting from Omaha Golf Club.
Some of the highlights - we sold all 9 live auction lots, and all of the 19 silent auction packages. For this we thank our sponsors and donors and our auctioneer Richard Withers. We asked him to auction off everything from a new bed plus accessories, (thank you NZ Bed company), to a rain water tank (thanks RainReserve.)
The meat packs and gifts from New World Warkworth the fabulous experiences made available (like Learning to Butcher with Warkworth Butchery) all made for a huge excitement level.
We were so moved by the heart-felt generosity of all our guests and the recognition by the donors, sponsors and so on - they understand that saving lives at sea doesn't happen by magic.
(Although certainly there was magic-making at the event. when President Dave announced that our new boat is now a "thing". )
See more soon. Thanks all.
