Peter James Golf Classic Raises £13,000 for Charity


The annual Peter James Classic golf tournament raised an amazing £13,000 for Action Medical Research even though no one won the prize!

The task was to hit a hole-in-one on the 17th hole at the event held at Haywards Heath Golf Club.  The event raised £8,800 the previous year for the charity that funds research to improve the health of babies and children.  The charity is over 60 years old and is leader in breakthroughs for vaccines such as polio.

Many local businesses sponsored the event and there were many prizes such as who could get “nearest the pin”, “longest drive” and “nearest the hole in two”. 

Not only did the golf tournament raise money but a local author Peter James offered the opportunity for a local business to feature in his next Detective Inspector Grace novel.

Dinnages, Renalut dealer contributed the Prize which was a Megane with help from Tozer Insurance and this was for anyone who could hit a hole-in-one on the 17th hole.

The dealer principal at Dinnages, Tom Simpson stated: “We were thrilled to be involved in this event with this prestigious local charity.  Though no one won the prize…”

Sounds like the event was a great success, I like to show support for businesses like this and as I’m looking for a new Renault car I will visit Dinnages, Renault dealer in Brighton and look at their used RenaultClio Brighton.
