The ninth annual Summer Swing Charity Golf Day and Gala Dinner was held at The Mere Golf Resort and Spa, Knutsford.

Hosted by Andrew Chatterton of Franklyn Financial Management, Congleton, 88 golfers enjoyed 18 holes on the course before joining a record 330 guests for a glamorous evening of fun and fundraising. The ‘Nobody Does it Better’ Bond themed evening meant that guests were greeted by a Jaws impersonator and golden Bond girls, before enjoying entertainment from ex-Coronation Street actress Shobna Gulati, singer Yvette Royal and Britain’s Got Talent finalist Les Gibson. The occasion raised £101,000 for the St. James’s Place Foundation, which supports a variety of small charities throughout the UK.
