Captain is so charitable

Outgoing Tydd St Giles Golf Club ladies captain Maria Taylor-Vassall marked the end of her successful tenure with a generous charitable donation.

She handed over a cheque for £2,400 to Paul Gibbons, of Dementia UK, from funds raised over the course of her captaincy year through a variety of events with the support of club members.

The captain expressed her gratitude, highlighting the kindness and community spirit shown throughout the year.

The donation will go towards supporting the vital work carried out by Dementia UK, helping families affected by dementia receive specialist care and guidance.
