🎨💙 Sponsor Announcement – The Gumbo Cup 10th Edition ⛳️

As we mark a decade of The Gumbo Cup, we’re proud to highlight two incredibly meaningful contributors to this year’s event: Barry Coleman Design and Andover MIND.

🎨 Barry Coleman Design has brought the day to life with an amazing event brochure, capturing the spirit, energy, and community of the Gumbo Cup in every page. Barry’s creativity and attention to detail have helped elevate the experience for everyone involved, and we’re incredibly grateful for his support.

💙 At the heart of it all is Andover MIND — the reason we come together. Their work in supporting mental health across the local community is nothing short of vital. From counselling and crisis support to outreach and education, Andover MIND provides a lifeline to individuals and families navigating mental health challenges. Thanks to the generosity of our players, sponsors, and supporters, The Gumbo Cup has proudly raised over £16,000 to help fund their essential services.

This event is more than just a golf day — it’s a celebration of community, remembrance, and the power of coming together for a cause that truly matters. We’re honoured to support Andover MIND and thrilled to have Barry Coleman Design helping us tell the story.

🏡🌸 Sponsor Announcement – The Gumbo Cup 10th Edition ⛳️

We’re honoured to welcome back CH Property Services and proudly introduce Dried Blooms UK as hole sponsors for this landmark 10th edition of The Gumbo Cup.

🏡 CH Property Services, owned by Chris Hutchinson, is more than just a sponsor — it’s part of the very foundation of the Gumbo Cup. Chris, the founder of the event, created the Gumbo Cup in memory of his brother, the late Joff Hutchinson, whose spirit and legacy continue to inspire everything the tournament stands for. What began as a heartfelt tribute has grown into a powerful community tradition, thanks to Chris’s unwavering dedication and vision.

Over the years, Chris — alongside fellow Gumbo Cup founder Jamie Richmond — has helped shape the event into what it is today: a celebration of friendship, sport, and giving. Through tireless effort and passionate leadership, they’ve driven the Gumbo Cup’s charitable impact to new heights, raising over £21,000 for Andover MIND and other meaningful causes. Their work has turned a day of golf into something truly special.

🌸 Dried Blooms UK joins us this year as a new local sponsor with deep community roots. Offering a stunning range of dried flowers and arrangements, they jumped at the chance to be part of the Gumbo Cup, and we’re thrilled to welcome them into the fold. Their creativity and enthusiasm bring a fresh energy to the event, and we’re excited to have them on board.

Together, these sponsors represent the heart and soul of the Gumbo Cup — a blend of remembrance, community, and generosity. We can’t wait to celebrate with them at Paultons Golf Centre for another unforgettable day.

Morning all,

We are just a month away from the 2025 edition of The Gumbo Cup!

This year’s edition takes place on Saturday 6th September, with a 9am start at Paulton’s Golf Centre.

There will be the usual breakfast rolls, tea, and coffee at the venue, followed by the golf, which will range from the sublime to the ridiculous.

This year will see the return of the Protect the Gumbo Game, along with the Team Event, 2’s and 3’s Competitions.

The evening event will take place at the Central Club, with food provided, the handsome but baldy Dave Witcher overseeing the Horse Racing, Auction and ‘Pin the Bid on Phil Robins’ game.

Over the last 2 years, costs have increased and this year we are having to up the entry fee to £65 per player and £260 per team.
If you’re interested in playing, please put your name down. If you’re putting in a team, please let us know!

Looking forward to seeing you all for this year’s event!

Best,
Team Gumbo
