We proudly hosted our fifth charity golf day at the scenic Calcot Park Golf Course in Reading on Friday 19th July. The event saw a full turnout with 104 participants and concluded with a lively post-match BBQ and auction, hosted by comedian Aaron James. The day was a tremendous success, raising over £20,000.
Trevor Goodall, our Founder, expressed his gratitude and shared the charity’s remarkable journey: “In 2021, we reached the magical milestone of £1 million, surpassing all my expectations for the little charity I set up in 1995 in memory of my twin sons, Joshua and Samuel. Since then, we have organised more events and are now nearing the £2 million mark. We continue to purchase lifesaving equipment for neonatal units, including a ventilator for The Great Western Hospital in Swindon, a training manikin for Bristol, and a ventilator for The Royal Berks Hospital in Reading. I would also like to extend a very big thank you to our generous sponsors who have been incredibly supportive this year, and a special shout-out to Select Car Leasing as the main sponsor and contributor.”
The event drew several notable competitors, including Wimbledon FC FA Cup winners Lawrie Sanchez and Dave Beasant, as well as ex-Arsenal player Henri Lansbury. The winning team, the Rhyder Cup Team, comprised Duncan Dyson, Webby, Steve Leggett, and John Kay.
A huge thank you to our sponsoring companies, Select Car Leasing, Clere Golf, Azego TS Ltd, Black Cygnet, Alpine Technology, Redmayne Bentley, James Cowper Kreston and Hospitality Finder.
