Marathon Runner for Peter Alliss Masters
(3rd April 2008)
Andy McColl, a member at Oakdale Golf Club in Harrogate, intends to run the Edinburgh Marathon on 25th May in support of the Peter Alliss Masters. Initially he said he was simply happy to participate as a personal challenge and that his aim was "to run a marathon in less than 4 hours in his fiftieth year". However, he realised that, in so doing, he could probably raise some money for others. He heard about the Peter Alliss Masters Golfing Society from a friend at the golf club and it struck him as being an ideal charity to run for. He says, whilst he still aims to beat 4 hours, the bigger target is now to raise enough money to be able to help someone else in such a tangible way. He is very pro the work of all charities but feels it will be much more satisfying to see the fruits of his efforts in the form of mobilising someone less forunate than himself ? The very idea struck a chord with many of the people he knows; sufficiently so that he is sure they will pledge even more money - enough at least for a powerchair.
Watch this space to see how well he does!
If anyone who reads this is inspired to sponsor Andy just let a member of the committee know (see contact section) and we will put you in touch with him.

First year report
(26th February 2008)
The first year of the Peter Alliss Masters Golf Chair scheme is now complete and has been a resounding success. 13 different golf clubs and organisations bought and donated 67 chairs to a value of £212,000 throught the facility in 2007. The significant benefit that the scheme offers, is that the 8 dealers who participated were able to supply chairs best suited to the children's needs by selecting them from 7 different manufacturers, rather than just the one that the previous arrangement required.

Alex Hay to join Peter Alliss for the 2008 Tournament
(26th February 2008)
Participants in the 2006 Peter Alliss Masters will be aware what a suberb contribution Alex Hay, the well known veteran golf commentator, made as a stand-in for Peter in that year's event. We are delighted to report, therefore, that Alex and his wife have agreed to join us once again, this time to the 2008 tournament - not this time instead of Peter but alongside him. Alex will play in the tournament and furthermore has agreed to speak, certainly at one of the dinners if not both. His presence and undoubted humour will add immeasurably to this years "Masters".

Kirby Muxloe GC - a landmark
(3rd April 2008)

This will be a great achievement particularly as the first chair presented at the golf tournament will be their 50th since starting their unstinting support for the "wheelchair crusade".
