Lincolnshire & Rutland RBL Golf Poppy Appeal Competition 2007

Poppy Appeal

The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal Golf Competition final round was held on Woodhall Spa's Bracken course on 8 Nov 07. 

. 

 The winner with a stableford score of 40, Bob Brown from Laceby Manor GC being presented with his Ping Rapture driver by Tony Goodwin, Chairman of the  Royal British Legion,  Lincolnshire.   The total for all Lincolnshire & Rutland sections so far is: £4065.90 - which with the gift aid supplement from the Exchequer should become £5204 !
