On Wednesday 11 May 2011 StockXchange, Edinburgh hosted a fundraising shopping evening on behalf of Trefoil. Fifty shoppers turned up at the Young Street shop to enjoy a glass of fizz and 10% discount on their purchases. StockXchange also donated a percentage of sales to Trefoil.

The fizz, very kindly donated by Virginie Brouard of Le Di Vin, Edinburgh, helped to “relax” the shoppers and they all dug deep into their pockets to support Trefoil. The event was captured on film by photographer, Linda Mellor, who also very kindly donated her services for the evening. Panoply Events organised the evening for Trefoil at no charge and is currently planning a similar event to take place in November.

A total of £455.10 was raised on the evening for Trefoil and this will enable the charity to provide some more holiday grants for deserving children.

A big thank you to Le Di Vin, Linda Mellor, Jane and Christine of StockXchange and Lauren and to all those who came along and supported the event.

The annual Trefoil Golf Tournament took place at Royal Burgess, Edinburgh on 7 June 2011 and raised over £3772 for the charity. Fourteen teams took part in the competition:

• The Edrington Group
• Edinburgh Risk Management
• Elie Seniors
• The Assay Office
• Gillespie Macandrew
• GilMac 2
• Walter Scott
• Speirs & Jeffrey
• Dunedin Canmore
• Ryden
• Mitchell Edwards
• RGM Solicitors
• Cala Homes
• Millar & Bryce

Although there were a few showers on the day, nothing seemed to dampen the enthusiasm of the golfers. At the registration all golfers were given a goody bag which contained a golf ball donated by The Edinburgh Golf Centre, a miniature of whisky donated by Tullibardine Distillery, crisps and a chocolate bar donated by Tesco at Hermiston Gait and a bottle of Strathmore water donated by A G Barr.

The winning team this year with a score of 120 was Gillespie Macandrew (Team 1), second with a score of 123 was The Assay Office and third place went to Dunedin Canmore with a score of 124. The results for 4th—14th places were as follows:

• 4th Millar & Bryce (125)
• 5th equal Mitchell Edwards and RGM Solicitors (126)
• 7th The Edrington Group (127)
• 8th Edinburgh Risk Management (128)
• 9th Cala Homes (129)
• 10th Walter Scott (132)
• 11th equal Speirs & Jeffrey and Ryden (133)
• 14th equal Elie Seniors and GilMac 2 (137)

There were also four sponsored competition holes and the winners were:

• Nearest the Hole in 2 - sponsored by Speirs & Jeffrey Stockbrokers - George Veitch
• Nearest the Pin on the Green - sponsored by Edinburgh Risk Management - Eddie Danks
• Longest Drive on the Fairway (Ladies and Gents) - sponsored by Kitchens International - Elaine MacDonald and George Veitch
• Nearest the Hole in 2 - sponsored by Walter Scott—Richard Clark
