Captains bow out with charity boost
DESPITE two very difficult years in golf clubs the retiring Macclesfield Golf Club Captain Pete Lloyd and Lady Captain Wendy Higgins were delighted to be able to present a cheque for £5212.56 to their chosen charity of The Christie.
They went to the newly opened Christie Building in Macclesfield to present their cheque to Louise Dawson the Community Fundraising Officer for The Christie.
