After costs we raised a wonderful £3,750 for the charity's work in this region which is absolutely fantastic, thank you! Since the competition started in 2015, we have raised over £18,282 through this event through this competition. This, together with the Gransden Golfing Society golf competitions in aid of the charity over the years, means that an additional £5,772 can be added making it £25,448 raised by the wonderful sport of golf for the charity in this county.

Our thanks go to the generous teams on the day with £2,356 being raised from the auction and raffle. We are very grateful for the support of the golf clubs who donated the vouchers, companies offering raffle prizes and for the Cambridge Country Club Golf Pro Team who so generously donated coaching lessons, 4 ball voucher, simulator session, beauty and leisure vouchers.

All the funds raised from these golfing events go towards the NSPCC Schools Services work in the region with primary and secondary children. Through the virtual presentations and sessions with the younger children, a number of disclosures have been made and several subsequent prosecutions have resulted. Thank you again for helping us raise funds for the charity to make a difference for children and young people at risk of abuse and neglect in Cambridgeshire and this region.

Our thanks go to our generous hosts and sponsors, The ONE Group team, for their fantastic support in the run up to the competition and for hosting the event on the day, providing some great prizes and sponsoring the wonderful Wining Team Shield, in memory of their colleague Anthony Barnes who was a great supporter of the charity through this golf event. Our thanks to members of The ONE Group team for their help at registration, running the putting competition and managing the auction aspect ahead of the event and throughout the day.

We could not have managed without the excellent support of Aaron Howard the Head Golf Professional, the Pro Shop Team at the Cambridge Country Club and our Course Marshall for the morning. We also very much appreciate the support of Cotto Restaurant who provided the great bacon rolls and delicious lunch.

Finally thanks to our NSPCC volunteers for their help with filling the goodie bags and running the half-way house refreshments. Thanks to Pauline and Peter Gratwick who kindly donated the bottle of ch*****ne.
