De Vere Dunston Hall is staging a charity golf day and May ball on Friday, May 14 in aid of the Variety Club's Children's Charity.

The hotel is hoping to raise �10,000 from the event, part of the De Vere group's national target of �500,000 for the charity.

Golfers are invited to enter teams of four for the golf day at �140 per team. The day begins with breakfast rolls at 11am, followed by 18 holes of golf with a shotgun start.

There will be a stableford competition with prizes for the top six teams, plus additional prizes for nearest to the pin on all par threes and beat the pro on the 14th hole. Buffet meal and prize-giving will take place at the end of the afternoon.

The Variety Club May Ball kicks off with a champagne reception at 7.15pm, followed by a four-course dinner in the Sunningdale Suite, with dancing to Dynamite and an auction and raffle. Tickets for the ball cost �45 per person or �400 for a table of 10.

Golf professional, Richard Tidy, who is co-ordinating the event, said: 'We will have a lot of fun and aim to raise �10,000 for the Variety Club at the same time. We have already had a lot of interest from our golf club members who have signed up for both the golf and May Ball, but still have tickets and places for both events.'
