Golfing fundraisers
Those dedicated golfers have been busy again...
Prostate UK benefited to the tune of £12,500 by being nominated as the Royal Eastbourne Golf Club's charity of the year. This amazing amount has been raised through a highly successful Charity Day which this year enjoyed a record number of entrants, with 47 teams taking part. Club Captain Adrian Teulon was overwhelmed by the generosity of the sponsors, members and guests.

A host of celebrities were on hand for a charity golf day in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care and Prostate UK. Held at Surrey National Golf Club on 13 July, the event was organised by Novello Noades, hosted by TV personality Ingrid Tarrant and TV weather forecaster Sian Lloyd, and attended by Ian Wright. A day of golf and dinner was followed by an auction which raised £7,000 for both charities.
Pat Bensted, Ladies Captain of Whitstable and Seasalter Golf Club, with the help of the lady members of the club compiled and produced a high quality recipe book of their favourites for home cooking. All the proceeds from the book will come to Prostate UK and at the end of Pat's year as Ladies Captain in November a cheque will be presented to our regional fundraiser Paul Grainger. The Club has already raised over £1,300. If you would like to buy a copy of the recipe book and help to raise even more money please call Pat and her husband Tony on 01227 264462.
