The force is with local charity at Billingham Legacy Foundation Golf Day

June 3rd 2018

We’re delighted to have supported and sponsored the Billingham Legacy Foundation Golf Day for the third year running – and it again proved to be a huge success. 

More than £1,750 was raised for the Billingham Legacy Foundation on the Star Wars-themed golf day, which took place on ‘May the 4^th’ at Billingham Golf Club.

The Billingham Legacy Foundation is an independent charitable grant making body which invests in the community of Billingham for the benefit of the people of Billingham: we have a long-standing relationship with the organisation. 

Two teams from Tomlinson Hall joined teams and corporate guests from CF Fertilisers, Stockton Council, Tata Steel, Chemoxy, PX Group, Brewin Dophin, Billingham Golf Club Lynas Engineers and Ellis Builders at the event, which was held to boost funds for the foundation.  

Winners on the day were Stuart Beagrie, Eddie Hides, Kris York and Harry Hinchley from the Advanced Vehicle Leasing team, who racked up 101 points. Second were the Billingham Golf Club Captain’s Invitational team with 97 points and the Lynas Engineers team came third with 92 points.

Kris York from Advanced Vehicle Leasin, won the nearest the pin on the eighth hole prize, which was a golf bag kindly supplied by Rockliffe Hall, while Lee Hepple from CF Fertilisers won a golf bag donated from Grundfos for triumphing in the nearest the pin competition on the 14th hole.

As well as participating in the day’s golf, each team made generous donations to the auction and raffle prizes. 

Tracy Chandler from Emirates kindly donated tickets to T20 cricket fixtures at the Emirates Riverside, home of Durham County Cricket Club, and also for an England vs Australia One Day International taking place on June 21.

Golfing equipment from Grundfos and four ball vouchers from Billingham Golf Club were also donated to the auction. 

Colin Simpson, business development director of Tomlinson Hall – who is also a patron of the Billingham Legacy Foundation – said: “We’re delighted that Tomlinson Hall was again the main sponsor of the Billingham Legacy Foundation’s Annual Golf Day.

“We’d like to thank everyone who took part on the day, it was a fantastic event that brought people from the region together to have fun and raise money for Billingham Legacy Foundation, which makes a positive impact on the lives of people in our local community.”

The Billingham Legacy Foundation golf days have raised more than £5000 for the foundation over the last three years.
