The 3rd Annual Stanley McLean Memorial Charity Golf Day

Hello all!

Thank you to everyone who played this year’s 3^rd Annual Stanley McLean Memorial Charity Golf Day, helping to make it a massive success with over £9,300 raised!

£5,300 has been donated to EACH where we will again be "Funding the Hospice for a Day” for the second consecutive year on January 2^nd  2015, which would have been Stanley’s 4th birthday.  The remaining finds have been donated to GOSH where we are continuing to fund a portable Echocardiogram machine, which is a vital piece of equipment on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and lung conditions.  

This Year’s Event

A huge thank you to our main sponsors who without we would not be able to make the day such a success.  Thank you to Intouch Systems for providing all the before dinner drinks as well as the large TV screen and audio equipment and a brand new laptop which was won by Helen Beck who was closest to the pin on the 6^th hole.  Also thank you to the Dingles Motor Group for providing the hole in one car that all players had a chance to win as well as an amazing auction item of a Toyota GT for the weekend and a stunning food hamper.  And finally thank you to Sprowston Manor Marriott Hotel for providing a superb location, a great meal and fantastic service.

Our winners this year were Kevin Gooch, Sam Taylor, Dave Hewson and James Hazel who had a great night winning a number of individual prizes as well.  We had 26 teams take part and 118 join us for dinner where we were entertained by Aaron James, one of the coutries leading sports impressinists and comedians.  The auction items had hot bidding with the marquee items of a signed Gareth Bale Real Madrid top, a fourball at Woburn Golf Club, a 5 night stay at any of The Small Independent Hotels of the World and a fourball at London Golf Club all helping to raise over £4k from the auction alone!

Stan's Sponsored Walk

The wonderful Becky, of cake sale fame, has organised another charity fund raiser. A sponsored walk around the beautiful broads of Norfolk on Saturday the 12th of July.

As all good walks should do, this one starts and finishes at a pub!  Meeting at the Fur in Feathers in Woodbastwick at 1.30pm we will begin to make our way around the broads on a leisurely 7 mile circular walk starting at 2pm.  With the guaranteed summer sunshine, warm weather and the promise of a pint at the end is there a better way to spend a Saturday?  And did we mention that the ice cream boat is meeting halfway?  Did you even know there is an ice cream boat!  That alone is worth the price of admission!

The keen walkers of the group can get first rounds in and once all the stragglers make it to the pub we can all look forward to a well deserved drink in the area that is reserved for our walkers.  Becky and the pub have also put a small menu together, so if you think you will be hungry then here are your choices:


All at £10.50
Cheddar and Bacon Burger, with chips and coleslaw.
Lasagna, with chips and dressed leaves.
Veggie Brie Burger, with chips and coleslaw. (V)
Chicken and Bacon Fricassee, with rice and garlic bread.
Ham Salad, with new potatoes and dressing. (GF)

For the little people (£5)

Lasagna with chips
Chicken goujons with chips and peas
Sausage, chips and beans

Please note that the Pub have asked for pre orders and payment beforehand.


As this is to raise funds for Stanley's Trust there is a minimum sponsorship request of £20 per person, so your choice on whether you want to get sponsored or simply cough up the £20 yourself!   If you are interested in coming along to raise money for our two charity benefactors, GOSH and EACH, please email us at thestanleymcleantrust@gmail.com
Look forward to seeing you there!

"Pay for a day" at EACH Quidenham

After the huge success of Stanley's Golf Day in September we were able to 'Pay For a Day' at Quidenham Hospice with some of the moneys raised. We are the first family to cover the costs of running the Hospice for a day, donating £5,300 on the 2nd of Janurary 2014. We are very grateful to be able to give something back to say thank you, and being able to pay for a day on what would have been Stanley’s third birthday is a great way to remember him and celebrate his life.

You can read more about us donating to the Hospice here on the EACH website.
