Blackwell Grange Golf Club
Wow! It was an honour it was to present the annual charity cheque to Blackwell Grange Club Captain Dicky Parker today.
With the support of the club’s members, Dicky has raised over £6000.00 for Prostate Cancer UK.
The visit was also an opportunity to see all the drastic changes and improvements that have taken place at the club over recent years.
A huge congratulations to the members on their achievements!
At the handover, I learned that Sue Theakston is on course to make her mark on the history of the club by becoming the first female club captain.
Blackwell Grange first appointed a club captain in 1960 and a ladies’ captain since 1961. Having been ladies’ captain in 2017, Sue is now overall club captain.
A former radiographer, Sue will be using her chairmanship to raise money for the County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust’s charity— good luck!
