Some spaces left and sponsorship packages available for GIMA Charity Golf Day

The GIMA Charity Golf Day is a great event that is aimed at helping retailers and suppliers have a bit of fun and relaxation as another key gardening season eases off. That all important ‘unwind’ is perhaps more applicable than ever this year as the pressures are enormous.

Recognising this, one of the latest companies to book a team into the event is furniture and leisure product suppler Hartman UK. Their team of four players, a mix of company personal and retailer customers are set to take on the challenge from colleagues in all sorts of supplier companies and other retailers including:

-    Haws Watering Cans
-    Glee
-    Forest Garden
-    Dlf Trifolium –   Johnsons Grass Seed
-    Westland
-    William Sinclair
-    Bord na Mona
-    Mr. Fothergill’s Seeds
-    Fiskars
-    Solus Garden and Leisure

The event, now in its fourth year also raises money for charity. This year Greenfingers and Gardening Leave are to be supported by the event which takes place at Staverton Park Northamptonshire on Thursday 6th June. Full details are on the GIMA website or call Geraldine at the GIMA Kent office on 01959 564 94.

Gardening Leave's chief executive Heather Budge-Reid said:

"It's great news that GIMA members, suppliers and retailers from the garden and pet industry will be raising funds for Gardening Leave this year and I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone involved. Money raised will help us support veterans across the UK who carry the invisible wounds of conflict and who are in real need.  The therapeutic benefits of gardening can make a big difference to people who have PTSD. Working with plants also promotes a sense of purpose and hope for the future."

“Even for those who think golf is not their cup of tea there are opportunities to get involved” says GIMA Director Neil Gow. “Whether it is coming along to mix with colleagues at the evening event of dinner and entertainment or supporting with some sponsorship the rewards for those who support are valuable. We do still have some spaces left and with sponsorship packages from as little as £100 there is tremendous value. For more details go to http://www.gima.org.uk/awards.asp?Page_ID=29
