This year was our 11 th year of running a charity golf day at Tall Pines Golf Club, each year

we donate our entire profits to a nominated charity and this year we supported Ronald

McDonald House Charity, which believes that when a child is sick, the entire family

needs comfort and support. Ronald McDonald House Charities UK has been operating

for 30 years since construction began on the first House in 1989. Their houses provide a

place to stay when the partnering NHS hospitals whilst seriously sick children are being

treated. Families staying with them can cook, play, rest and be together, all the time

knowing that they are only moments away from their child in hospital. They also run

activities so families and children staying with them can have a break away from the

hospital ward.

To stay in one of their Ronald McDonald Houses, they must first ask the hospital to refer

them. Upon receiving a room, the family will be able to stay for as long as needed. All

their houses are situated a stone’s throw from the hospital and have everything you

would expect to find in your own home; ensuite bedrooms with a phone line directly

linked to the hospital, a kitchen and communal areas, and some have outside space.

We were a little down on team entries this time but still managed to field 28 teams of

four. Thanks to the participants, sponsors, supporters and helpers on the day, we

managed to raise a sum of £4,400 which was gratefully received by the charity.

Next year - 2024

2022

A big Thank you to all who supported Yeo Valley Lions in 2022, on our  Tenth Charity Golf Day at Tall Pines Golf Club. In 2021, due to COVID  restrictions we had a limited field but this year 2022, we were almost  up to full strength with a field of 34 four man teams. Now back to our  regular Spring event this year we made a donation to Great Western Air  Ambulance, who along with many other similar charities based throughout  the UK (YES CHARITIES) respond by air and road to people in urgent need.  They save lives across Bristol, Gloucestershire, Bath & NES, North  Somerset and South Glos. With the generosity of the attendees and  sponsors we manage to make a £6000 donation to the charity (all proceeds  for our golf day go direct to the nominated charity)
