THANK YOU, SUDBROOK MOOR !!
UPDATED, AS WE RAISE THE MONEY
The club has continued a strong commitment to its
nominated charity, Marie Curie Cancer, and with over 20 years of fund raising
we decided to make a bigger effort over the summer. Funds came in from golf competitions, the
forfeits from the charity bunker on the 6th hole (15th), gifts
and donations. The special boost came
from an idea from Paul McCarthy, who lent us his own Olympic Torch that he had
been privileged to carry as part of the 2012 pre-Olympic relay through
Lincolnshire, on its way throughout the UK.
So, during the month of the August Rio Olympics we took donations for
photos to be taken with the torch. The
Tuesday Ladies also played a Pentathlon of Golf Competitions and the total sum
raised here for Marie Curie Cancer in the July to October period was £722.33. The total for the year was £1,047.33. The Seniors’ Captain’s morning raised £119
for the Skegness RNLI Lifeboats. The
national endeavour, Sports Relief, in March inspired the raising of £117.32. In November, our collection for The Royal
British Legion also realised the sum of £135.84.
We hold several fund raising events throughout the year to help raise much needed funds for this important charity.
