Avro Captain Steve Jackson and Lady Captain Sylvia Christelow joined forces for their Annual Captain’s Charity to support the MNDA.
They were delighted to present a cheque for £8,008.35 to the MNDA representative Sophie Meadows.
Sylvia said: “For a small club this was a magnificent amount of money raised and our thanks go out to all of the members for their great support of a variety of fund-raising activities over the past year.
“We chose to support the MND because of the recent death from MND of the husband of a previous Lady Captain Aileen Stephenson whose husband Melvyn was also Club Captain.
“The big fund-raiser was the 100-hole Challenge with two men playing 100 holes in a day which had £4,040 donated through a JustGiving page plus Gift Aid.
“Other events included were a monthly Mixed competition, the 100 club draw, a range of raffles- including a folding chair from the 2025 Masters – (which Rory McIlroy won), sales of ladies clothing, ladies eclectic competitions, bunker fines, sales of Maple Syrup and Honey donated by a member and putting competitions on Men’s Captain’s Day and the 100-hole Challenge plus a few miscellaneous donations.
“Steve and myself would like to thank everyone who helped raise the fantastic amount which shows what a great community spirit we have in our club.”
