Get a slice of the celebrity action at the Retail Trust Charity Golf Day 2012
Pitch in with celebrities and retailers alike for the Retail Trust Charity Golf Day 2012 -organised by Matalan- at the DeVere Carden Park Golf Resort on Thursday 21 June in aid of Retail Trust, the only charity that looks after three million people working in retail plus those retired from the sector.
Join a celebrity’s side or sign up a team of four players to wow your clients, build relationships with suppliers or just take a day out on the stunning, championship course near Chester. Test out your competitive edge with the ‘Nearest the pin’ and ‘Longest drive’ contests for the coveted prizes that will be presented at the evening ceremony.
£1,800 plus VAT will bag players brunch on arrival, 18 holes of competition golf with a complimentary buggy, a gala dinner and entertainment to be performed by the celebrities, cabaret style.
Nigel J L Rothband, Retail Trust Chief Executive said: “Matalan are fantastic champions of Retail Trust and we are very grateful for them for this annual event. People in retail who are suffering hard times; from redundancy to cancer, from family problems through to debt will really benefit from the money raised at the Golf Day.”
Darren Blackhurst, Matalan Chief Executive said: “We are great supporters of Retail Trust as the charity provides excellent services for not only Matalan staff, but for the whole retail sector, so while we’re having fun, we’re also looking after our own and that’s a good way to spend a day.”
