Russ Abbot Classic at Kingswood Golf Club |
On 4th/5th May 2008, the
Variety Club Golfing Society held the Russ Abbot Classic at Kingswood
Golf Club, and SUSY Radio is proud to have been asked to help with the
event.
The Society was formed in
1965 with the very clear objective of raising funds which allow them to
purchase Sunshine Coaches. Sunshine Coaches are
presented to schools and care centres looking after sick, disabled and
disadvantaged children. Some 40 years on, the Society has gone from
strength to strength and in 2006 raised just over £1M and presented 46
coaches.
Chairman Sir Henry Cooper
supported by celebrities from the worlds of entertainment and sport
together with their business membership enjoy the delights of some of
the best golf courses around the country whilst at the same time
donating their time and efforts to raising the funds that are so
desperately needed by so many children.
Pictured below are Russ Abbot and Eric Sykes presenting two Sunshine Coaches at the start of the Russ Abbot Golf Classic Tournament on 5th May,2008.
SUSY Radio broadcast from the event on Bank
Holiday Monday on 5th May on 87.7FM, and we hope that you enjoyed hearing the voices of your favourite celebrities as they took to the
course at the superb Kingswood Golf Club.
