King’s event taped up by office team

- GOLF SIMON CARTER

HEATON Office Solutions had the King’s School’s annual bursary fund golf day taped up with a superb score of 90 points to pip veteran Ron Smart and his men on a card count back.

The Merseyside team are based in Liverpool with a branch in Macclesfie­ld and have been suppliers to the King’s School for many years.

Heaton’s team skipper Danny Young, who normally plays his golf on a series of top Wirral links courses, said: “We’ve played in the last four events and have improved bit by bit each year as we get to know the many and varied challenges of this superb Macclesfie­ld course.

“We couldn’t be more happy to win but much more importantl­y to be part of this fantastic fund raising effort.”

The event, which has been nurtured by the hugely popular King’s former pupil and ex-rugby league profession­al Alan McInnes, has now raised over £30,000 in total helping to build the King’s Bursary fund which now stands at around £800,000.

King’s Headmaster Dr. Simon Hyde said: “The Golf Day is a wonderful fundraiser for the Bursary scheme, which enables local children the opportunit­y of a King’s education and from I what I can see also allows former pupils to renew the competitiv­e instincts they developed on our playing fields.”

King’s offers a range of bursaries for local children applying to the school for 11+ and Sixth Form places.

The annual golf day is one of the major fundraisin­g events of the year and receives huge support from a range of sponsors and local businesses.
