Leading South West wealth managers, Church House, were delighted to sponsor the President’s Charity Golf Day at Rushmore Golf Club, near Shaftesbury, which raised £20,000 for the Eloise and Katie Plunkett Memorial Trust.
The trust was set up in 2003 in memory of Eloise and Katie Plunkett, two young sisters who both died of cancer. It funds small projects in England and Scotland that make a real difference to the lives of young people and supports causes which are important to the Plunkett family – particularly cancer and Parkinson’s Disease.
Organised by Alice Plunkett, the face of Channel 4 racing in memory of her sisters, the day featured the great and good from the racing world.
Team Church House, consisting of Rushmore member Neil Hiscock and James Johnsen, were delighted to be joined by John Francome MBE, the seven-times Champion Jockey and Christopher Gabbey, former Secretary of Royal St. George’s Golf Club.
As a result of this (and the Texas Scramble scoring system), the team came in a respectable third out of 18 teams with a score of eight under par.
William Fox-Pitt MBE (Alice’s husband and club president) hosted a lunch, with Alice interviewing – among others from the world of racing – Sir AP McCoy, Richard Johnson, Jamie Snowden, Mick Fitzgerald, Carl Llewellyn and her commentary colleague, Rishi Persad, on their varied golfing efforts – to much laughter!
