Golfers raise £7,000 at Mid Sussex Golf Club for Rockinghorse

A total of 76 keen golfers, making up 19 teams, attended the successful event at the Mid Sussex Golf Club in Ditchling, one of the first events that the charity has been able to hold since March due to the coronavirus restrictions.

Mid Sussex Golf Club was the venue for the event and the 18 holes of golf were followed by lunch, raffle and a range of golfing prizes handed out to players and the winning team.The event was supported by sponsors FRP along with co-sponsors County Business Clubs, Face Media Group and prize sponsors Black Dog Hill Vineyard.

Stella Buckingham, events fundraising manager at Rockinghorse, thanked all the players, sponsors and the Mid Sussex Golf Club for hosting the event and added:

“We haven’t been able to hold any events for so long and it’s wonderful to see everyone out enjoying themselves - this will make such a difference to our fundraising. Unfortunately, due to the new social distancing guidelines we aren’t able to hold any large events for a while but we hope to run other outdoor and virtual events and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we can resume our full events calendar next year.”
