The third edition of the “FCC Friends of
Golf” tournament took place on 29 Sept-
ember. On this occasion, the games were
organized around the Scramble handicap
modality. FCC family members and emplo-
yees from various Group divisions partici-
pated in this event.
The spirit and commitment of all partici-
pants in this initiative was excellent and,
despite the bad weather, nobody missed
this event.
One of the objectives of this event is to en-
courage group spirit. The participants pla-
yed and competed as if only one player was
involved, showing that being united, their
commitment and teamwork enabled them
to achieve goals that would be impossible
to attain individually.

dies for Smiles to support UNICEF. This
idea involved the donation of one Euro for

Congratulations to everybody!
We invite you to get involved and participa-
te in the forthcoming edition in 2013 and

volunteers
transform the Horncastle
(UK) cultural centre
Thanks to the improvement work carried out by FCC Environment
volunteers, the cultural centre at Manor House Street in Horncastle
is teeming with activity. The volunteers focused on washing curtains,
mopping floors, and helping in the thorough cleaning of the kitchen.
A group of workers painted and installed new bathroom fixtures in
the men’s and ladies’ room. The panel dividing the chapel was also
re-installed, leaving it ready for a future project since on Sundays this
building us used by the Christian community as a place of worship.
The professionals built the exterior wall and installed new wiring.
These electrical works were mostly funded thanks to a 9000 sterling
pound donation by WREN-Waste Recycling Environmental Ltd., a
not-for-profit organization which makes donations to social projects
in the United Kingdom, funds which are donated by FCC Environ-
ment which, in turns, receives funds from the Association of Landfill
Sites.
According to trade union member Bob Wayne, “The centre is an
asset which is used frequently by the community, with more than
32,000 visits per year from the organizations located in this muni-
cipality”.
Some of the groups that take advantage of the facilities at the Centre
include the Luncheon Club, Getaway Club, bowlers, the municipal
children’s playground, the Julie Dean Academy and several art as-
sociations.
