Our Charity Lunch at Swinton Park Golf Club on Sunday 23rd July was a complete sell-out when 121 enjoyed a most successful and financially rewarding afternoon. President Rosemarie had planned and organised with great precision a range of demonstrations and stalls reflecting the theme of Wellness, Health and Beauty. Physiotherapy, manicures and hair and makeup demonstrations were alongside stalls selling handbags, jewellery and more.
Regional President Margaret and members from Ashton under Lyne, Bolton, Burnley, Crosby and Leigh Clubs generously supported us, alongside family and friends of club members, especially a huge circle of our President’s personal contacts. We were welcomed with a glass of Bucks Fizz, followed by a delicious and well presented lunch. Mid-afternoon the tea and cake provided a welcome interval. The guest speaker Wendy, a life coach, gave a ligh hearted message of positivity. The raffle was a great success with fantastic support from all present.
Act4Africa and our own Club stand were an excellent way of raising the Club’s profile, Barbara and Susan providing educational input in their respective roles of President Elect and Membership Officer. The event raised the tremendous sum of £2034 for Club charities, an amazing success. The personal efforts of President Rosemarie are greatly appreciated as well as the photographic skills of her husband, John.
