Taking place on the 10^th October 2008 the golf day will be returning to the magnificent John O’Gaunt Golf Club, Sutton, Sandy, Bedfordshire. The John O’Gaunt Golf Club is one of the finest in the country, boasting picturesque scenery and fine greens.

The charity enables people to get the best from their lives, by helping put back what conditions like Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Injury take away. 

Sue Ryder Care Fundraiser Grant Peters said:  “As you can imagine raising funds to meet our ever-growing costs St John’s is a demanding task.  We receive some of our income from Health Service funding, however the remainder has to be found locally and through fund raising events. 

During this year we need to raise £1million locally and so we hope as many local people and businesses as possible will support the golf day and help us help more.” Sue Ryder Care – St Johns Hospice have been very fortunate that local company Marshall Land Rover Bedford have kindly agreed to sponsor two golf holes at this years event. Marshall Motor Group is the largest subsidiary of the Marshall Group of Companies, with 40 sites representing 15 different franchises.  Founded in 1909 in Cambridge, Marshall Motor Group is a regional dealer group who is dedicated to providing first class service to all of its customers.
