Rotary Charity Golf Day supports good causes
This year’s charity Golf Day organised by the Rotary Club of King’s Lynn was held at Middleton Hall Golf Club on Friday 7 July. It is the main fund raising event of the year and it is hoped that some £6000 has been raised to support local, national and international charities. In the last Rotary year, to the end of June 2023, the club made donations totalling over £13000 to some thirty good causes, including Guide Dogs for the Blind, Shelterbox (following the earthquakes in Turkey and the floods in Pakistan,) The Royal British Legion, Kids out, Baby Basics, Little Discovers, King’s Lynn Food Bank, King’s Lynn Night Shelter, East Anglia Children’s Hospice, East Anglian Air Ambulance, King’s Lynn Samaritans, Hunstanton RNLI, Bridge for Heroes, the Hope Foundation in Kolkata, Tapping House and Festival Too. In addition a number of individual students were helped to fund special trips or activities and Prizes for Community Service were awarded to sixth formers at both K.E.S and Springwood.
The Golf Day is organised by Steve Roberts and Geoff Cheney on behalf of the Rotary Club. 18 teams took part this year and the winners were the team from King’s Lynn Construction. The club is very grateful to all those local companies which sponsored the event.
