On 17th July, many of you wil be aware via national news outlets, that our local community was rocked by the events involving the crash of a coach carrying pupils and staff from Minehead Middle School retruning from a school trip to Exmoor Zoo.
All of us at Minehead and West Somerset Golf Club are deeply saddened by the heartbreaking events that have impacted our community, especially the young lives and families affected.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to everyone touched by this tragedy, including the pupils, staff, and families of Minehead Middle School.
We stand with our community during this incredibly difficult time.
Having hosted the South West Counties Golf Asscoiation Seniors Championship that concluded on the day of the accident, we have been generously offered many items from Golf Clubs in the South West and beyond and support from other friends of the Club.
