Helsby Golf Club held its annual fundraising day for the Powered Wheelchair Appeal and, with about 150 supporters playing a round, it was well supported.
After the golf there were various fundraising activities including raffles, auctions and a bottle tombola.
The main focus of the evening was the presentation of five powered wheelchairs to local deserving youngsters and this brings the total number donated by the appeal to 314 over the last 31 years.
The appeal also welcomed a number of sporting celebrities and amongst this year's participants were ex-Manchester United and international footballers Frank Stapleton, Stuart Pearson and Jeff Wealands plus best-selling author David Wilson.
The committee was delighted to be able to present five wheelchairs on the day to local deserving youngsters – Joe Blease, aged 15 and from Middlewich, Jason Brotherton, aged 11 from Barnton, Liam O'Neil, aged 13 from Beswick, Manchester, Courtney Taylor Hayhurst, aged 12 from Widnes and Aaron Lambert, aged 22 from Northwich.
About £17,000 was raised on the day and the club and Wheelchair Appeal would like to thank all the businesses in Helsby and Frodsham, Chester and Ellesmere Port, Widnes and St Helens who supported them with donations and prizes.
Particular thanks must go to the event main sponsor Jigsaw Law and special generous donations by Electrorod UK and Natwest.
