Lady Captain at Lilleshall Hall Golf Club choses local charity, The Lingen Davies Cancer Fund to support this year, with plans to lead a range of club activities to support the cause.
This year’s Captains at Lilleshall Hall Golf Club drove into office last week, each nominating charities that the Club will support during the year.
New Lady Captain, Meg Jones, has chosen local charity, The Lingen Davies Cancer Fund to support throughout her captaincy year. Meg, her father and husband have all been members of Lilleshall and Meg was delighted when she was nominated to Captain the Ladies section of the Club this year. “I want to encourage more girls to play golf and getting more women playing golf in 2018. The interest from young girls in playing golf is growing and it’s a fun and challenging sport,” said Meg.
Meg will be supporting The Lingen Davies Cancer Fund this year following requests from two members of the club who have received treatment there.
"The charity has recently launched an appeal to raise £1.25 million by June 2019 to celebrate 40 years of making a positive difference to lives affected by cancer in Shropshire, Telford and mid Wales."
"This money will be used to invest in equipment to detect cancers and provide early diagnosis, provide information and support for people with cancer, and actively engage in public awareness campaigns. I’m looking forward to supporting this excellent cause throughout the year,” said Meg.
Meg will be leading the Ladies of the club in a wide range of activities both on and off the course. A major club competition to coincide with the Ryder Cup will be one of the year’s golfing highlights together with a wide range of social activities.
Lilleshall Hall Golf Club is looking forward to an enjoyable year of excellent golf with their new Captains leading the Club’s activities, welcoming new members and people keen to take up golf. “We are looking forward to a great year of fun playing golf and raising valuable funds for a charity that improves the lives of people with incurable illnesses and their families,” concludes Meg.
