Youngest reader? / ACA golf day / Announcements: Births, marriages and deaths


31 MAY 2012 | YVONNE WAN

Youngest reader?
Kar Kit (Genworth) and Agnes Li (Steve Dixon Associates) have sent in a photo of their 10-month-old son, Kaiden Li (pictured above), browsing The Actuary magazine.

Tee off with the ACA to Get Kids Going!
The Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA) is holding a golf day in aid of disabled children's charity Get Kids Going! on 9 July at West Byfleet Golf Club.

The format will be a nine-hole Texas Scramble in the morning, with three-ball teams made up as people arrive. The main 18-hole competition in the afternoon will be an individual Stableford (for the Felton Cup) combined with a team Stableford (for the new ACA Cup). There will be lots of opportunities to win prizes.

The cost of the golf package is £95 per head (£275 for a team of three), which includes a £20 donation to Get Kids Going!, a national charity for disabled children and young people that provides specially built sports wheelchairs to enable them to participate in sporting activities.

Last year, the ACA golf day raised over £1,000 for the charity. For further information, please email [email protected].
