Auction lots included a signed football from Manchester United Football Club, The Dorchester provided champagne afternoon tea for four and we had a £200 travel voucher from Brittany Ferries.
“We raised a fantastic £2,787, which will all go towards delivering more disability and difference workshops in schools.”
Winner Bayer Never Lusen was taking part for the first time, while the team that won the wooden spoon was made of people meeting for the first-time on the day.
Law firm Anderson Rowntree was the main sponsor for the third year running and additional hole sponsorship was provided by Euphoria Kitchens in Walberton, Spratt & Son in Worthing, Turner & Townsend in London and the Horsham & Shipley Community Project.

“Anderson Rowntree were delighted to provide two teams from across our three offices to take part in the challenge and, as usual, those taking part met the challenge with great humour and enthusiasm.
“The camaraderie between all teams taking part is always fantastic and, overall, it seemed a wonderful afternoon in the sunshine was had by all.”
