At the presentation Nathan Whales stated that the prime objectives of the day were to ensure that it was a fun day and to raise the awareness of bowel cancer.
He drew attention to the fact that Damien organised a sponsored walk earlier in the year which hopes to raise �5k for the cause.
He thanked all participants for their support and the need for research into this particular form of cancer.
�1,150.00 was raised through this event and will be donated to Norfolk's branch of cancer research which will go to Addenbrooke's in Cambridge where research into bowel cancer is taking place.
It is anticipated that this will become an annual event and the date for 2010 has already been booked at Eaton Golf Club on July 30. If you would like to enter a team then please contact Liz on e.whales@btinternet.com
The family would like to express their thanks for the considerable support and unfailing assistance given by Mr B Futter and staff at Fakenham Golf Club.
