Bracknell

A round of golf in the spring Bracknell sunshine to raise money for a deserving cause is teeing off at the Downshire Golf Complex on Wednesday, April 29.

Cllr Bob Edger, the mayor of Bracknell Forest, is hoping the annual event - which this year is fundraising for his chosen charity, Childline - will attract dozens of keen golfers.

The Bracknell competition is open to teams of four people, with entries costing £150 per team. The price includes coffee and bacon rolls on arrival, a goodie bag, use of the driving range for some pre-match practice, 18 holes of golf, followed by a late-afternoon, two-course meal and charity raffle.

The event begins at 9am with registration, while the golfers tee off at 10.30am. Anyone interested in taking part should contact Emma Evans, events manager at the Downshire Golf Complex on 01344 422708 or email emma.evans@bracknell-forest.gov.uk

Bracknell Cllr Edger said: "More than £1,700 was raised at last year's event and I'm hoping we'll do even better this year.

"Downshire is a superb course and everyone who plays there at the charity days always has a marvellous time in aid of a very deserving cause."
