DURHAM Mayor John Lightley is urging people to play a round and help him raise money for charity by taking part in a golf day.
For the eighth year running, teams from across the city will battle it out over 18 holes at Durham City Golf Club to raise money for the Mayor's Appeal, which this year is in aid of the Treetops Children's Unit at the University Hospital of North Durham and The Gala Theatre Stage School (George Hunter Memorial Fund).
The event, on Friday, July 1, is open to teams of four players from the city. The winners get a trophy.
City council leisure development officer Jill Wood said: "The golf day has proved to be a huge success in the past, raising the most amount of money for a single-day event. This year, we are hoping to top our record of £2,400."
Anyone interested in taking part can get more details by calling Jill Wood, on 0191-301 8226.
