Hundreds of people turned up for tea/coffee, cake and a chat. £1,580 was taken at the event whilst £535 has been paid via the JustGiving page plus £123.75 gift aid. There is still time to give to this great cause. Jane says she will do it all again next year!

Saturday 5 September was Mia Ashton’s Junior Captains’ day at Kibworth Golf Club. The event was well attended with 27 junior golfers battling it out over 18 hole, nine hole, and flag 50 competitions.

Mia would like to thank everyone who donated a prize, with some local organisations donating (Farley Country Attire, Jewson Market Harborough, The Co-op, and MB performance golf). The winners on the day were, Oscar Williams (best Gross), Daniel Robinson (best Net), Joshua Buzzard (nine hole) and Harry Wiggly (Flag 50).
