In 1994, the first SAIFInsure Ryder Cup match took place to mark the start of a relationship with SAIF that now spans 30 years. Now, in 2024, (7th to the 10th May), 28 funeral directors and suppliers to the Profession will gather in Dublin at the famous Portmarnock Resort & Golf Links to commemorate 30 years of the event which is now known as The Kee Cup to remember our good friend and supporter, Gordon Kee.
Whilst it’s an event built on fun and camaraderie, there is a serious side to the event in that it brings the profession and its suppliers together; many business relationships have been built or strengthened over the period as well as a significant amount of monies raised to support the SAIF President’s charity of that particular year. All raised through the various mishaps and schoolboy errors of the participants.
This year also marks the last time that Brian Hart of SAIFInsure will head up the SAIFInsure/Associates team as he has from the start and Gary Neill who has led the SAIF team for much of the past 30 years as 30 years is a good point to step down but not away. Going forward, the event will be run by a small committee so any SAIF member or Associate who may wish to play is very welcome to contact either Brian or Gary so that they can be included for future events.
SAIFInsure is proud and delighted to have reached this milestone alongside SAIF and its members and we hope that all who are attending have a wonderful time. Our thanks also go those who have supported us in the past and are perhaps unable to attend this time. We look forward to seeing you soon.
