“It’s the first time we have held the event at Deeside Golf Club and it really is the perfect venue for a day of golfing and fundraising, all possible because of our wonderful sponsors, CNR International.”

The day is an opportunity for colleagues or friends to come together to play 18 holes on this magnificent course.

Teams can take part in games such as longest drive, nearest the pin and a hole in one competition.

Businesses also have the opportunity to sponsor a hole on the course, their branding appearing on one of the 18 holes for all players to view.

In addition, there is a Birdie sponsorship package which includes more promotional opportunities.
