Enjoying the sunshine and dodging a few rain showers, the Army, Royal Navy and RAF met up at Old Thorns on 8th June for their annual charity golf day, this year sponsored by Nexor. A 9-hole Texas Scramble in the morning was followed by Team Stableford in the afternoon during which the Army managed to retrieve the trophy from the RAF. £1,200 was raised during the day, which was donated to the Army Benevolent Fund.
