On Wednesday 9th May Ryston Park Golf Club past captains Maggie Ward and Roger Sloper were delighted to present a cheque for £780 to Liz Sheriff.
Liz, representing CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) joined the ladies for coffee after golf and explained that 12 young people die every week from undiagnosed heart defects. She lost her own son who was just 17 when he died suddenly during a cross country race several years ago.
CRY is a small charity that works tirelessly to provide awareness, support and, most importantly, cardiac screening for young people. Donations can be made in memory of individuals and we were pleased to add our cheque to Jack Sheriff’s memorial fund. Please check their website.
Sarah & George Pratt kindly allowed the Gamekeeper’s /Landlords to hold their annual golf day at Ryston Park Golf Club.
This year it was held in aid of James Bagge’s Charity “Walking for Norfolk “ to raise money for unpaid carers.
Around forty players who are friends or members of the local shoots participated . On arrival everyone enjoyed their bacon rolls and coffee before braving the weather. Unfortunately the weather rather spoilt the day which meant the competition was decided over 9 holes as the course started to flood !
Winner: Andrew Howlett 19 points, 2nd Ian Buttle (on count back) 17 points, 3rd John Rice 17 points. Ladies Winner: Janet Rice 14 points. Nearest the Pin: Peter Jones from Heygate Farms Swaffham.
Once they dried out everyone enjoyed lunch provided by Classic catering.
Heygate Farms donated one hundred pounds which gave them a profit on the day of Nine Hundred and Eighty Six Pounds.
