Alzheimer’s building group holding a golf classic

THE annual golf classic in aid of the Drogheda Branch of the Alzheimer Society is coming up in a couple of months ‘ time.

The event will take place at the Laytown and Bettystown golf club on Friday, May 18.

The cost of entry per four-member team is €160. Tee times before 11am include a free breakfast.

Some great prizes are being lined up at present and will be finalised shortly. Registrations are now open with Veronica Reilly at 086-6025043.

The event has proved very popular over the past few years even though the course proved to be characteristically testing for many contestants.

Feedback from many participants was very favourable and a good entry is expected again.

The Drogheda Alzheimer branch is currently undertaking intensive fund-raising to help provide a new Day Care Centre for the town.

Branch chairman, Noel Heeney and fund-raising committee chairperson, Ann Shortt, said they were hoping for a big entry and another great event to help the effort to raise money for the project.
