Highlights from the FPA Golf and Activities Day
Over one hundred members and their guests attended the FPA Golf and Activities Day at Staverton Park and Whilton Mill on 12 June 2025.
Members had a choice to compete on the golf course at Staverton Park, or take part in an activities day including go-karting, axe throwing and laser tag.
During the evening barbecue, Anna Turner was pleased to be able to present a cheque to WasteAid for £8,000 – raised exclusively from the 2025 FPA Awards. A further £809 was raised on the day through games and a raffle.
