The Floor Covering Institute of Australia’s (FCIA) held its inaugural Golf Day on Friday 13 September 2024 at Oatlands Golf Course.
The weather shined on the group as they drove off in their carts, bringing together industry manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and apprentices in a relaxed, engaging atmosphere. The day was filled with friendly competition, networking opportunities, and a shared passion for fun!
Hosted at the stunning Oatlands Golf Course, and sponsored by Mapei Australia, the FCIA Golf Day offered participants a chance to step away from their everyday responsibilities and enjoy the camaraderie of their peers. Based on my lack of ability to hit a golf ball, it is safe to say the event was not just about golf; it is about building relationships, fostering communication, introducing the few apprentices that attended to the wider flooring community and reinforcing FCIA’s strong focus the support for training within this industry.
As with most golfing days the event had its prizes – supplied by Mapei, MJS and Nexus a variety of competitions were held during the day. During lunch the winners were announced:
While FCIA’s Golf Day is about fun and relaxation, it wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of its members. FCIA would like to thank Mapei Australia for its sponsorship of this event but more so for always being a strong supporter of FCIA and training within this industry.
FCIA would also like to thank the following members who sponsored holes but more importantly are there to support FCIA in many aspects of training through the supply of products for workshops, creation of videos and attending our events. A very big thank you to:
Next FCIA Golf Day
From a personal perspective, I really hope that the first FCIA Golf Day provided some fun and enjoyment and maybe even a little relaxation for those who participated. Thank you again for being part of our first Golf Day and I look forward to seeing you back on the golf course at our second event on Friday 12 September 2025.
Here’s to many more successful FCIA Golf Days ahead!
