Rotary Club to host their fifth annual golf tournament

Since 2008, members and friends of the Rotary Club of Lisburn have been organising this event annually to raise funds for local and international charities.

Since its inception this golf tournament has raised over £27,000, making a real difference to children and adults living in Lisburn and around the world.

This year the Rotary Club will help the NI Cancer Fund for Children and Jole Rider - bikes4africa.

Work is currently going on at the NI Cancer Fund for Children’s Daisy Lodge, a therapeutic respite centre in Newcastle. The first of its kind in Europe, this will provide nurturing short breaks for up to 500 families each year caring for a child with cancer.

The 16,000 square feet facility will be a comfortable home from home for families at their most vunerable, providing a break during treatment and offering a chance to create special memories and treasured moments during this time.

bikes4africa refurbishes doated second-hand bikes and delivers them from UK and Ireland to African schools. These enable kids to get on school on time, begin the day alert, stay for extra lessons and travel home safely.

The day begins with registration and refreshments from 12-1.15pm, followed by a shotgun start at 2pm with stableford rules being played.

There will be team and individual prizes as well as for best gross.

Non-golfers are welcome to attend the dinner and prize-giving, costing £30pp.
