Oake Manor Golf Club donates to Childrens Hospice South West
The changing of the captains at a golf club is always a special occasion, but this was also an opportunity for Oake Manor to help a good cause.
Through his year as men’s club captain, Richard Goodman has chosen to support Childrens Hospice South West and has managed to raise £51,784 for the charity.
A cheque was presented to them by Mr Goodman at an event where new captains for 2026 were crowned.
Mr Goodman said:
It has been a true honour and privilege to serve as Captain of Oake Manor Golf Club throughout 2025. My nominated charity for the year was Children’s Hospice South West, and it was an absolute pleasure, alongside Ladies’ Captain Daphne Priddy, to present a cheque for £51,784 to Debbie Birtwisle. I know this contribution will make a meaningful difference. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to all our sponsors for their generous support throughout the year. In particular, special recognition goes to Oz Beynon of Atlas Health & Safety Management, who hosted a golf day at Oake Manor with all proceeds donated to the Children’s Hospice, raising an impressive £4,200.
Mr Goodman also wished new captains Jon Ball (Mens Captain), Mary Beakes (Ladies Captain), Nick Mitchell (Seniors Captain) and Max Snow (Junior Captain) ‘all the very best’ for 2026 for their captains year.
