Our Charity Golf Day at Stowmarket raised £6324 for SARS Charity


 

Swinging Success for Bury Abbey Rotary Golf Day

The Bury Abbey Rotary Golf Day, held on Friday, June 12th at Stowmarket Golf Club, was a remarkable event that raised an impressive £6,324 for the Suffolk Accident Rescue Service (SARS). This record turnout of 108 golfers not only showcased the local community's spirit but also directly contributes to the invaluable work of this worthy charity.

It was fantastic to see the course in excellent condition, providing a true test of skill for all participants. The club’s facilities and ongoing support were integral to making the day a success. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, and I’m excited to announce that we’ve already booked the date for next year’s event on Friday, June 11th, 2027!"
