This year's Insurance Times Golf Day was the biggest and best yet with just over 200 insurers and brokers enjoying a round on one of four beautiful courses – Rennes, Val Andre, Des Ormes, and Le Tronchet – near St Malo.

As usual, there was plenty of festive spirit on the overnight ferry crossing, and even more on the way back.

DAS seemed to have cleared the whole office for the golfing trip and it was fitting that they also took home two of the prizes.

Simon Coulson was the overall winner and Lisa Noble scooped the title of best lady.

Insurance Times would like to thank all those who came and especially our sponsors DAS and JST Mackintosh.
