Thank you to the Lead Sponsors British Gypsum, Minster, Promat, Siniat, Knauf, CCF, SIG, Nevill Long and Thrifty, and to Heavitree Brewery who kindly donated the refreshments. A massive Thank You to lead sponsor CAP Ceilings & Partitions Ltd who also sponsored the ‘hole in one’ competition and for their valued sponsorship and support which enabled us to ensure that the day was a great fundraising success.

A great day was had by all and most importantly with your support we managed to raise a massive £23,598.26!!

Together, we can help to ensure that children are given the knowledge, skills and self-confidence to form positive attitudes that will enable them to lead safe, happy and healthy lives.

We are delighted to announce our next golf day will be held on Friday 29 July 2022 at Woodbury Park Golf Club – we look forward to welcoming you then!
