Rob Turner looking for golfers for his Golf Day at Cumberwell Park
Richard Walsh - 15 July 2002



Rob Turner is holding a Golf Day on Tuesday July 23rd at Cumberwell Park Golf Club near Bradford on Avon, and if the last few events that have been held for his benefit are anything to go by then those who sign up for the day will have a good time.

Last weekend well over 200 people attended his Summer Ball that was held in the grounds of Taunton School, and by all accounts everyone had a most enjoyable evening.

Last Monday Rob held his `House of Commons Lunch' in the Churchill Room at the Houses of Parliament, that was attended by 75 guests, with Ned Sherrin as the guest speaker.

Rob told me: "The meal was really good, and we had just finished eating when the fire alarm went off. It could have been a disaster in the making, but luckily our local M.P. Adrian Flook went off and sorted things out so we could get on and go ahead with the auction which was a great success."

The Golf Day at Cumberwell Park next Monday will start off with a rolling buffet on arrival, 18 holes of golf and then a sit down dinner at the end, with several guest speakers including Phil De Glanville, the former England and Bath RFC captain.

Already Rob has attracted fifteen teams, who are paying £250 per team, but he would like to recruit another five if possible. Any individual or team of four who would like to sign up for Rob's Golf Day should make contact with Doreen Barnes on 01455 230489 or 07876 173440.
