Annual Corporate Charity Day
Each year around twenty five teams of four enter the event, starting the day with a bacon 'buttie' 18 holes of golf .
The teams compete for a number of prizes. Raffle tickets go on sale around mid-April, but the real winners are the three local charities.
A big thank you goes to our loyal Charity Sponsors, Home Gas Supplies, the SPGC Charity Committee members, club members and all those who regularly get involved in making such a difference to people's lives.

SPGC - a small club with a Big Heart
It was in 1993 that Founder Member Arthur Wilkinson decided to hold a "Charity Week-end". In those early days it was a joint event involving both Club and College in an effort to raise money for both College and Club nominated Charities.
Today the event is run by the golf club and takes place on a Friday, usually in May or June; The 2023 event is being held on Friday 19th of May.
Over the years this event has raised over £150,000 and now averages a clear profit of £6,000 per year which is then distributed to three nominated local charities, each of which receives sponsorship for three years.
