Rail customer experience consultancy to tee off for charities

Railway organisations are being urged to swing into action with legends from the world of rugby, while at the same time raising funds for charity.

The charity golf day in Derbyshire, organised by Customer Plus, is offering those signing up to get up close and personal with 20 rugby players who between them have more than 1,000 international caps.

The event takes place on August 5 and 6 as part of the 100 World Legends Charity Weekend, raising funds for Stand with Ukraine and three Derby charities – Me and Dee Charity, Children First Derby and Safe & Safe Sound. 

On the Friday there will be a golf day, with the opportunity to enter a team of three for 18 holes with a legend, including brunch at Chevin Golf Club, Derby, at a cost of £300 a team.

Richard Beevers, Director at Customer Plus and the organiser of the event, said: “I’m really looking forward to the event. This is a great opportunity to tee off with a rugby legend for a round of golf, whilst raising vital funds for some really important organisations.”

On Friday evening (August 5) there will also be a barbecue, while on the Saturday there is a tournament featuring the legends 10s at Derby Rugby Club, and a BBQ and live music at George & Dragon in Belper on the Saturday evening.

“This is our third rugby legends event in Derby, and we raised over £6,000 at each of the others,” added Richard. “We have included our local Ukrainian Society as a beneficiary this tear so I am hoping we can reach the £10,000 mark.”

Last year’s golf tournament was won by Porterbrook Leasing.
