After a round of golf, guests had the opportunity to unwind with a delicious meal and try their luck at the raffle, which included prizes such as golf days, afternoon tea at Rudding Park, a voucher for the Royal Oak in Ripon and a beautiful print of a painting of St Andrew’s Golf Club by Yorkshire artist Jonothon Potter.
This is Dementia Forward’s second Charity Golf Day, with last year’s event taking place in Skipton.
