A fabulous day was had by all at the LOROS annual golf day, which was sponsored by LCM Wealth Management for the second year running. Twenty one teams participated in a shotgun start at the highly prestigious Rothley Park Golf Club on Friday 3rd May 2013.
Diane Morris, Fundraising Manager for LOROS, said: “I am so grateful to all the players for participating in what was a very enjoyable day. Companies throughout Leicestershire and Rutland and from further afield attended what has become a recognised date on the charity golfing calendar.
"The generosity of the sponsors ensured an amazing profit of £10,500 was raised to help fund care for our terminally-ill patients and support for their families. This will pay for 105 visits by our community nurses to patients in their own homes or 15 weeks of care by a nurse at the Hospice.
"LCM Wealth Management sponsored the event; Spire Healthcare, the Lunch; Berkeley Insurance, the Dinner and Mosdorfer CCL, the Hospitality; with Pork Farms contributing fantastic savouries on the day.
"Next provided the team prizes and Sam Spillane, of SJ Events & Danny Spillane of Golf Retails Limited, the individual prizes. KPMG, Berkeley Insurance Group, Banner Batteries, Sygnet Signs and Stoll Knotting Machines all sponsored tees. SJ Events supported the event. I am very grateful to all these companies for their very generous support and also those who provided raffle and auction items.
"The winning team was Newline, second place went to Spectrum Metrology and Spire 2 came third. The ladies' ‘Nearest the Pin’ was won by Dee Laurie, mens’ by John Gardiner, the ladies’ ‘Longest Drive’ was by Ginny Mulligan and the mens’ by Robin Parker. Congratulations to all the winners.”
