This year look out for a set of twelve gin and tonic glasses and two solid bowls designed by Czech designer Aleš Valner.  Here’s a sneak preview.

GolfLab Instruction Packages

GolfLab Academy and AimPoint Technologies have once again kindly donated two golf instruction packages. Each package consists of two 90 minute sessions with GolfLab’s A.J. McAdam.

The Art of Green Reading and Putter Fitting 

In this first package, A.J. will do an advanced fitting session using a state of the art fitting tool and fitting system to find the optimal putter. Using the right putter can quickly improve a player’s performance level on the greens. This system has been used by players like Justin Rose, Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke.

Player Biomechanics and Swing Efficiency 

For package two, A.J. will use state of the art 3D technology, developed by K-Motion Interactive, to analyse player biomechanics and swing efficiency.

The player can find simple solutions to combine more power and control in their game, without completely changing the uniqueness of their style. They can also uncover tendencies that cause inconsistent results.

ARTĚL’s Sea Life Tumblers

ARTĚL has donated an exquisite set of Sea Life tumblers to this year’s auction.  

ARTĚL’s fascination with the aquatic life – ironic, given that they are based in a land-locked nation – is perhaps best expressed in this detailed motif. Each of the shapes in this collection features a choice of six delightfully stylised sea creatures ranging from jellyfish to octopi.

Drumroll please…

We’re very excited to announce this auction prize – a bass guitar autographed by Sting.

Sting

The guitar is a faithful reproduction of Sting’s trusty 1953 Precision Bass. It has a contoured lightweight ash body with single-ply pick-guard, a maple neck and fretboard with a 7.25″ radius, a vintage 2-saddle bridge and a vintage single-coil pickup. Prize also includes a Fender gig bag and display case.

Enjoy this reproduction of the P Bass from the early days and pay homage to a great player at the same time.  This limited edition guitar has been kindly donated by Richard Seewald and JR Smith.

We need your help

This year we’ll be taking you on a sea odyssey “2014 Leagues Under the Sea”

Tickets to the 2014 Charity Gala have now sold out and with just over six weeks to go we need to call on all our friends and sponsors to donate goods, services and experiences for us to auction.

The Charity Gala is all about helping to drive positive change and with the help of our community we really can make a difference. Last year we raised over two million Czech Krowns at our gala and this year we’d like to raise even more. 

A big thank you to those of you who have already donated prizes.  We’ll be announcing them on the blog in the run up to the big night.  If you haven’t yet donated and are able to offer a prize please get in touch.  We’d love to hear from you.
