Maidenhead & Windsor

Cllr Leo Walters, Mayor of the Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough, is inviting residents to take part in a charity golf day at Maidenhead Golf Club in aid of Prostate UK.

Teams of four can take part in the event – to be held at the club on Thursday May 1 – and men and women with golfing handicaps are being invited to enter. Individuals can also sign up and will be placed in teams. The cost of entry is £60 per player for 18 holes of golf and an evening meal. The competition will start at 12noon and the golf will be followed by a three-course meal, presentation of prizes and a raffle.

Organisers are also looking for sponsorship for the event either by sponsoring one of the prizes, providing a raffle prize, making a donation to the charity or contributing towards the costs of the day.

Windsor and Maidenhead Cllr Walters said: "I'm delighted to be organising this charity golf day which, in the past, has attracted teams from local businesses and organisations, the Royal Household, Maidenhead Golf Club, councillors and those from neighbouring authorities.

"We hope to raise a good donation for the charity Prostate UK. About half of all men over 50 today have a prostate problem and this charity makes significant in-roads to funding research, training healthcare professionals, increasing public awareness and providing information on all prostate diseases."

Teams will be accepted on a 'first come, first served' basis. To register, or for more information, contact Alison Singleton, Mayor's secretary, on 01628 796223 or email alison. singleton@rbwm.gov.uk
