REGISTRATION AT 6:00 PM

PINE VALLEY GOLF CENTRE


The Cosmic Golf Tournament is a fantastic opportunity for you to entertain clients and friends, as well as promote your business through networking and sponsorship/donation recognition. Get together a group of your staff and make it a day of team building on the course, or take on a business competitor in this year's corporate challenge.

 

This year we will be "Raising the Bar" with a number of tasty food and drink bars to tempt you as you tee off. There will be a hotdog bar with all the fixings to create your custom-made, gourmet frankfurter. Those looking for a lighter option can visit the fresh salad bar. Finally, you can reward yourself for having a good game at the ice cream bar, complete with all your favourite toppings! Of course, there will also be a traditional beverage bar where we will be offering a variety of drinks. 

 

Activate and engage your Chamber membership by getting involved in this event by: registering a team, donating items for corporate recognition, or becoming a sponsor and take advantage of all the related marketing opportunities. Visit our website for more information and links to register.
