Superb Diable event helps to drive Linkage forward

THERE may have been nobody lucky enough to net a hole-in-one, but the sixth annual Tony Diable Charity Golf Day was a huge success.

Raising over £3,000 for the Linkage Community Trust, the event was once again held at Waltham Windmill Golf Club.

With 42 teams taking part, and as many as 12 turned away because of the popularity of the competition, the Windmill course played well throughout the day.

And while nobody claimed the top prizes on offer, there was plenty to celebrate for a worthy cause.

Tony Diable, of Diable Roofing, said: "There was some good scoring on the day, and the team that came third donated their prize back to the charity – It was a truly wonderful gesture.

"We are really pleased with the efforts and the money raised, especially because we put even more prizes on offer this year.

"We would like to thank everybody who took part in the event, and the sponsors, – we are already looking forward to next year."

The event, which is the brainchild of Diable, is administered by students and staff at the Weelsby Campus in Grimsby.

The College, which forms part of the Linkage Trust, is the longest-established specialist further education provider in the country, catering for young, learning disabled people.

Having raised over £20,000 for Linkage so far, plans are already in place for next year – which is expected to take place at Cleethorpes Golf Club.
