Celebrity Golf Classic - Presidents Sporting Club

get involved and make a difference...
The Presidents Sporting Club/EDSF (Registered Charity No.1001176), has now raised well
over £1million which has been donated to schools organisations, to provide sporting
facilities and opportunities for disabled children. The money raised is used to provide
sports equipment, coaching and tuition, the hire of sports halls and the funding of outings
and adventure type holidays.
Taking part in sport increases the children’s self confidence, physical development and self
esteem and helps them meet challenges that they may face later in life.
Two examples of the support we have given over the years are Noel Thatcher and Giles Long.
Both have received support from the Presidents Sporting Club/Harlow Handicapped Sports
Foundation and both won Gold Medals at the Paralympics in Atlanta and Sydney. Noel
Thatcher MBE, wrote recently,‘ I can say without exaggeration, that without the Club’s
sponsorship all those years ago, many of the medals I have been fortunate to win would have
been hanging around someone else’s neck. I would like to think that you can look at my two
gold medals from Atlanta as a reward for all the magnificent work the Club does for the young
and disabled in the community. It continues to be a privilege to be associated with your work’.
This will be the 16th year that we have held our Celebrity Golf Day at The Hanbury
Manor Hotel and Country Club. There are many people to thank for the success of the day,
and there simply is not enough room to say thank you to all, but in particular I would
personally like to thank Brian Keane from First Choice Marquees, Andie Jones from The
Player Magazine for their continued support, and finally the Management Team of
Hanbury Manor Hotel and Country Club for their professionalism and commitment.
Yours in Sport,
Mike Jackson MBE
Chairman of The Presidents Sporting Club
