The day will be rounded off with a drinks’ reception, three-course dinner at the clubhouse, along with a prize giving and auction. Maddie added:
“We’d like to thank Wetherby Golf Course, who offer us their amazing facilities free of charge every year, our headline sponsor Retail Response, and our drinks reception sponsor GMI Construction, whose support means more of the money raised will go to providing care to families.”
