Fosters Solicitors Triumph at Leeway Golf Day

05 May 2016
Sprowston Manor Hotel


Last Thursday we hosted our first charity golf day event in the grounds of Sprowston Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club. The event was was a big success and we were fortunate that the weather held out, allowing us to enjoy some beautiful sunshine. In total eleven teams signed up to take part in the event, each completing the 18-hole course. 


Once all teams had completed their rounds, we were delighted to welcome Richard Pearce from Barclays Norwich, who kindly hosted our auction. We had some fantastic prizes up for grabs, including: 

  • A 4 ball session at Sprowston Manor
  • A signed Norwich City shirt
  • A meal for two at House of Tiago in Norwich
  • A signed Levi Roots book

We would like to thank Richard, who kindly agreed to match pound-for-pound all the money raised through the auction, as well Norwich City goalkeeper Declan Rudd for making a guest appearance and donating the signed shirt.

All guests enjoyed a two course meal, consisting of slow-braised Norfolk beef blade with pan-haggerty potatoes and Bordelaise sauce, followed by a baked American-style vanilla cheesecake with tangy raspberry compote. After that delicious meal, we drew our raffle and as with the auction, we had a number of fantastic prizes to give away, including:

  • £50 worth of Slaters Menswear vouchers
  • ‘Tea for two’ voucher at Park Farm Hotel
  • A Bottle of Adnams champagne
  • A luxury hamper, courtesy of Drayton Insurance
  • A 90 minute golf simulator lesson

The evening ended with the announcement of the winners and runners up from the golf. Congratulations go to our winners, Fosters Solicitors, who beat Drayton Insurance by a single point. We also had eight winners of our ‘Beat the Pro’ competition, with former Norwich City striker Dean Ashton the lucky winner of that prize. 


We were blown away by the support we received for the event. Final donations are still coming in, but the total currently stands at a fantastic £1,370. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took part in the event – particularly those organisations and business who kindly donated raffle and auction prizes, and sponsored holes on the course. 


Our next event will be The Big Quiz on Thursday 26th May – full details of which can be found by clicking here. If you would like to register a team and reserve a table, simply call us on 0300 561 0077 or drop us an email to fundraising@leewaynwa.org.uk.
