President's Golf Day 2010
The 2010 President’s Charity Golf Day has raised a fantastic total of £4,127.
The event, which took place at the Morley Hayes Golf Club on 29 June, saw 11 teams from across the co-operative movement compete for a number of individual and team prizes – as well as raising money for this year’s charity Help for Heroes.
The Charity Golf Day is the start of the year of fundraising for this very worthwhile charity and we would like to thank everyone who took part for their generosity and look forward to your continuing support in our future fundraising activities.
