We held our annual Charity Golf Day on Friday 14th September 2012 at Bawburgh in aid of MacMillan Nurses and we hope to have raised a significant sum of money for this very worthy charity, which we have now supported for 14 years.
We did arrange for Richard Aldridge to take photographs on the course and he has ended up taking over 500! There are far too many to view here but if you click here you can see a large selection of them in all their glory! The “Beat the Pro” Competition seemed to be received very well too and we are grateful to Mark Spooner at Bawburgh for helping us out with this. We are told he is an excellent teacher of golf if anyone wishes to book any lessons with him.
We really appreciate the support that we receive for this event from local business and individuals alike and we understand that financially it is impossible to support every worthy event and we feel very privileged that our clients and contacts choose to help MacMillan Nurses by attending our Golf Day.
We did have three auction prizes on the day and have sold two of them but we do still have a Norwich City signed shirt by this season’s squad to dispose of with a reserve price of £100.00. If you would be interested in making an offer for this item please let me know and we will accept the highest bid received before a deadline date of Monday 8th October 2012. This would make a great Xmas present with all the proceeds going to Macmillan too!
