We are indebted to the Directors and Captain of the Cotswold
Hills Golf Club for allowing us to be part of the Captains Charity
Day which was held on Friday, 13th July.
Despite adverse weather conditions, 120 golfers arrived for their
Bacon Roll and coffee before teeing off, and enjoyed a 3 course
meal and golf fellowship after their round.
The Charities to benefit were the Cobalt Unit. the Shoebox
Appeal, Mencap and the Kambia Appeal. Kambia's share of the net
proceeds was just short of £4,000 including over £1,000 received
in the form of donations direct into our funds. The Net proceeds
from the Golf Day exceeded £7,000.
The contribution from the Charity Golf Day will be used
exclusively on the rebuilding of the dilapidated clinic at Barmoi
in the Kambia district which will extend medical facilities to a
wider community. Construction is at an advanced stage. The total
cost will be £15,500.
