Hide AdAllan visited the hospice in June with the Rustics’ chairman Steve and captain/treasurer Roy Jeffery to present a cheque to Mary Bye, community fundraiser.
The 2020 event was held in memory of Koster Tavatgis, a past Rustics chairman who had previously organised the event.
Allan said: “Koster was very well respected as both a friend and member of the Rustics. We have had a bench made and put on the course in remembrance of him. We also had a special opening for the bench at the end of a day’s competition, which was attended by his widow Molly. He is missed greatly and spoken of constantly.”
Mary passed on the hospice’s grateful thanks to everyone who generously donated towards the total and in memory of Koster.

“We really couldn’t do it without all the support of people and groups like you, so thank you again for your wonderful donation and ongoing support.”
