IWMA golfers defy
the weather
That IWMA folk are hardier than most was evident at
the IWMA Golf Day on 10th June 2009, at the beautiful
Fairhaven Golf Club in Lytham St Annes, UK. The com-
petition began in bright sunshine but players had to
withstand long periods of torrential rain. This did not
deter the vast majority of players, including for the first
time a ladies section, from completing the course.
Some good scores were achieved in the Stableford
competition despite the weather. The Guest Shield was
won by Mr P Ladums, a guest of Steel Wire Europe, whilst
a popular winner of the Chairman’s Cup for members was
Mr S Rika of Bar Products. The prize for best ladies score,
donated by Eurowire magazine, went to Mrs B Dagnall, a
guest of Goodwin Machinery Ltd.
The IWMA is very grateful to a number of other
organisations who sponsor prizes for the event including
Cleveland Steel, XL Technologies Ltd, TM Associates,
Interlink Import-Export Ltd, Hill International (NF) Ltd,
Bar Products & Services Ltd, Steel Wire Europe Ltd,
Birchwood Consulting and Intras Ltd.
This popular event will next take place at the same venue
on Wednesday 9th June 2010.

Despite the downturn, British company Pave Automation
reported a great deal of interest from visitors to its stand at
Interwire, and a number of firm sales leads.
“We made some important new business contacts at the
show and are now following up positive enquiries on six of
our machines,” said Tony Perna, managing director of Pave,
which designs and manufactures high-performance CNC wire
forming equipment.
“Manufacturers are increasingly looking for well-designed,
competitively-priced machines to cut production costs and
improve profitability.
“We have one of the most comprehensive ranges of
wire forming machines on the market, plus the expertise
and experience to help customers get the best return on
their investment.”
Pave also enjoyed success at the ‘Innovations-Technologies-
Machines Poland’ exhibition in Poznan in June, and is
currently progressing leads on nine different machines with
manufacturers.
