The Club is in admiration of the generosity shown by the largest and most prominent business to the smallest corner shop and with these traders' support, it aims to donate several thousands of pounds to the charities that provide much needed care and comfort to our county's ex-servicemen and servicewomen.
The event itself, to be held on 8 November, three days before Remembrance Sunday, has been a key part of the Club's calendar for well over a decade. It will be supported by over sixty club members taking part in the three-ball competition in the Ladies, Gentlemen and ex-Services categories as well as the hundreds of members who have bought raffle tickets or made cash donations.
All of the funds raised on the day will go towards the three charities and contributions from local business has come in the form of raffle prizes and sponsorship.
