Filey Ladies Golf team have presented a cheque to the Royal British legion after a year of fundraising.
Throughout the year the Ladies Golf Club members have undertaken many events, small and large.
The three larger events have been a Fashion show, Pie and Peas supper and an evening of singing entertainment. Ticket sales were done through advertising and word of mouth by the fantastic Ladies of the Golf Club.
Jean Wilkinson - Lady Captain of Filey Golf Club said:
"As a Veteran myself, I was a member of the WRAC - Women's Royal Army Corps, before it amalgamated with the rest of the Army.
When I was asked to be Lady Captain at Filey Golf Club, I had to choose a charity, my immediate thought was the Royal British Legion (RBL), this was because I felt they supported the veteran's community, serving members of the Armed Forces and their families.
Because Filey is a local golf club, I also felt the money raised would be better placed going towards the local branch of the RBL rather than Nationally. I spoke with Jad Piekarski a committee member of Filey Branch of The RBL and decided to choose Filey Branch of The RBL as our yearly charity."
Jean added:
"The Ladies Golf Club members have been fully supportive throughout, additionally holding a number of raffles throughout the year to bolster the amount raised.
I was proud to present a cheque for £2870 to Jad Piekarski and Simeon Grundy of Filey Branch of the Royal British Legion recently"
