GUERNSEY SPORTS COMMISSION<br />
BENEFITS FROM APPLEBY SPONSORSHIP<br />
The Guernsey Sports Commission<br />
has hosted a Tri Golf Festival<br />
open to children in Year 4 for the<br />
sixth year in a row. The Appleby<br />
sponsored event encouraged<br />
children, who had previously<br />
experienced the sport in schools PE<br />
programmes, to attend the festival<br />
to give golf another go. 23 children<br />
from eight different schools took<br />
up the free opportunity and a<br />
number of children have already<br />
taken the next step to playing in the<br />
community.<br />
Sponsoring this event forms part<br />
of Appleby’s wider community<br />
partnership to support golf<br />
development within Guernsey.<br />
Appleby Group Partner Alison<br />
MacKrill said, ‘We are proud to<br />
be involved with the Tri Golf<br />
Festival. Appleby have sponsored<br />
the L’Ancresse Open and the<br />
Ladies Pairs competition at La<br />
Grande Mare for a number of<br />
years. Having the opportunity to<br />
work with the Guernsey Sports<br />
Commission to support and<br />
encourage schoolchildren to try<br />
golf, have fun and hopefully take<br />
up the game is another key part<br />
of Appleby’s involvement with golf<br />
development in Guernsey.’<br />
‘REMEMBER AND SMILE’<br />
PATOIS JEWELLERY IS<br />
INSPIRED BY GEORGIE<br />
Guernsey jeweller Martin & Martin<br />
has introduced a new range to<br />
its renowned Patois collection,<br />
inspired by a new local charity, the<br />
Smile for Georgie Foundation.<br />
The jewellery features a rose, which<br />
is the emblem of the foundation,<br />
and the legend ‘I faot s’en r’maette<br />
et sourire’, patois which translates<br />
into ‘Remember and Smile’.<br />
A commission from each item sold<br />
will be donated to the foundation.<br />
The charity was established in memory<br />
of Georgie Le Prevost, who died<br />
tragically in a road traffic accident last<br />
July, and aims to make a difference<br />
in the Guernsey community through<br />
carrying out small acts of kindness.<br />
Emma Pang of Martin & Martin said:<br />
‘We were looking to partner with<br />
a local charity and we remember<br />
Georgie who was a customer. The<br />
concept is that people will want to buy<br />
the jewellery as a celebration of an<br />
important personal event in their lives.<br />
