Fred, Russell and myself were made very welcome by the club Officials and members during our visit to Stafford Castle Golf Club yesterday. Noel Walsh, Captain and Jenny Bloor, Ladies Captain both outlined their very personal reasons for their choice of Headcases as the Club charity for 2019.

Fred explained the origins of Headcases and how we operate to the 30 plus lady members who attended the fundraiser. The members were holding a coffee morning, having enjoyed a round of golf in the unseasonal sunshine.

Our thanks to all officials and members for their generous support. We look forward to working in partnership with the Club throughout the year to raise awareness and funds for Headcases.

We visited the Northfield Centre in Stafford in November last year where we attended a Penny Brohn event. Part of the event was centred around physical activity – a great aid to general wellbeing and a stronger immune system. George Gaye of I.H.L. put everyone through their paces with a very entertaining demonstration of how simple it can be to get more activity into your life.

George outlined how the scheme works. A referral from a health professional is needed in the first instance. Contact can then be made with the Active Referral Team on 01889 586260. The scheme operates from two centres at Rugeley and Cannock. If you have queries on how it all works, ring the number above or use the links below:
