THE outgoing veterans’ captain at Prudhoe Golf Club presented a welcome leaving present to a local charity.

David Smith handed over a cheque of £1,200 to Tynedale Hospice at Home as he ended a successful year as skipper of the seniors.

The money was generated through raffles, domino cards and charity golf days coordinated by Smith.

He said: “Special thanks go to the generosity of veterans’ section for donations and participation in the events, and to Wendy Maughan and the staff at Barclays in Prudhoe for their assistance.”
