Easter Egg Donations for Daffodils Dreams

“Tracy and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the members that donated Easter Eggs for our Captains’ Charity, Daffodils Dreams.

We were absolutely blown away by your generosity as were the team at Daffodils Dreams when we delivered the Easter Eggs. In total, we donated 105 eggs!!! These will be distributed to underprivileged local children through their schools. Due to your generosity, each child will now be able to receive two eggs.

Thank you once again for your support and generosity, highlighting once again that Gathurst is a great Golf Club filled with amazing members.
