NBC-sponsored golf day raises funds for cancer charity

For the third year running NBC has sponsored The Arthingworth Open, a local, fun golf day supported by a charity raffle in recognition of a former winner, Cathy Newman, who died of cancer several years ago.

Speaking about his role as sponsor, NBC’s managing director David Lunt said: “I have spent most of my life supporting charities, particularly through the 100+ marathons myself, and when I was asked to help it was a very easy answer.

“This fun golf day embodies everything you can imagine about community spirit – like-minded people getting together for a few holes of golf, celebrating the winners with a dinner and presentation evening, and then raising funds for charities with a raffle. What more could you ask for!”.

The competition was held at Cold Ashby Golf Club, followed by a presentation dinner at The Bull’s Head in Arthingworth. The competition included both men’s and ladies individual trophies, a team trophy and a newly included juniors section.

The teams were named in recognition of the many supplier partners that work with NBC, and the team trophy was awarded to team Walkers Snacks.

The charity raffle raised £1,000, which will be donated to Cancer Research UK.
