Corney & Barrow were pleased to support this event for the Wooden Spoon charity, the children’s charity of Rugby, at Lambourne Golf Club.
Along with our customer Henry Cripps and his establishment The White Oak in Cookham we provided the wines for the evening dinner but more on that later.
The morning started with coffee and bacon rolls for the 150 golfing participants who represented around 25 different companies. Then we moved into the marquee for the morning’s presentation by Sir Clive named “Blueprint 4 Success”.
Prior to that though he introduced 2 of his guests for the day: Aaron Moon and Gregg Stevenson. Both commandos they had suffered leg amputations following injuries sustained while serving. They were there to raise awareness of The On-Course Foundation. This foundation has been created to offer injured servicemen and women the opportunity to participate in golf and ultimately to provide employment within golf and other related industries. Both had inspiring stories and were also playing off impressive handicaps in their golf games.
Sir Clive’s main speech focused on his recent work to develop a system designed to capture, store, use and deploy knowledge for the development of individuals, teams and businesses. As one would expect from a World Cup winning coach and one of the leaders of TeamGB for London 2012 it was as elegant as it was thought provoking.
After the speech the guests prepared for lunch before the looking for their Tee times.
Dinner in the evening started with a reception with Corney & Barrow Sparkling Wine. The meal itself was served with Eradus Ana Sauvignon Blanc 2010 and Corney & Barrow House Claret 2008.
