THE Thurrock Festival Charity Golf Classic is on next Sunday in Bulphan.

Golfers who manage to sink a whole in one at the event, at Langdon Hills Country and Golf Club, can even net themselves £10,000.

Other prizes up for grabs include a weekend getaway to Portugal in a five star hotel.

The all day event starts at 10am and activities include a full English breakfast before the 18-hole competition begins.

Players can also enjoy a free nine-hole practice round and a three-course presentation dinner and charity auction in the evening.

The competition costs £25 to enter, in a team of four, and there is a dress code of collared shirts and golf shoes, no jeans are allowed.

Chair of Thurrock Festival, Councillor Barry Johnson said: “The organising committee has worked hard to ensure that T-Fest 2009 continues to give residents the opportunity to enjoy and explore the borough’s rich history, as well as the wide range of artistic and sporting activities the borough has to offer.

“This year’s festival promises to put Thurrock on national display as a modern and diverse borough.”

Thurrock Council Cabinet member for Community, Culture and Leisure, Councillor Joy Redsell, said: “The Charity Golf day promises to bring the community and local business together through sport, to raise money for charity.

“These activities are so important as they encourage community spirit, celebrating what we have in common while sharing and learning about our differences.”
