Last week our club held its annual charity golf day and organisers, David Hogg and Robert Manners, out and about from early morning, were more than pleased that we were blessed with beautiful weather. President Gary Blenkinsopp and Tony Jackson were also out early, driving a golf buggy (they were hours, think they got lost) placing information boards across the course, which looked stunning. So many thanks to Hall Bros. and Woodham for hosting the day. (And who is that guy who photo bombed the golf buggy picture?)
The winning team was Norton Ancients 1 and the trophy, in memory of the late David Thompson, a Rotarian and keen golfer, was presented by Glenys Thompson. An amount in excess of £4000 was raised and will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society UK, Motor Neurone Disease Assoc. and other Rotary charities. A huge thank you to our sponsors, who numbered more than 35, particularly Husqvarna who donated a robotic mower, the players and volunteers, without whom the day would not happen and not forgetting our grateful thanks to Woodham catering team for the excellent evening meal.
