The overall figure raised from the event going to the region is £1,200, which will be added to the money the committee have already raised in the last twelve months to donate to their next local project. Charlie Womersley, Chairman for the region says, “Taking into account the current economic climate, we would like to say a special thank you to all the teams and sponsors who supported us on our fourth annual golf day. Despite a couple of showers, a great day was had by all and more importantly funds were raised for Wooden Spoon”.
