FRINTON Links Golf Club hosted a race night and raffle event to support members' fundraising efforts.

The club is supporting Steve Loran and Charley Oxley, who are running the London Marathon in April in aid of their chosen charities.

Steve Loran has raised £3,465 for Smile Train UK, a charity providing cleft palate treatment around the world.

The money raised will fund training and resources to help children with cleft palates lead healthy, productive lives.

Meanwhile, Charley is supporting St Helena Hospice, and has so far raised £346.

To support their fundraising efforts, guests enjoyed a series of races throughout the night, placing bets and cheering on their chosen horses.

A highlight was the raffle, which featured a range of prizes donated by businesses and club supporters, helping to boost the total.

The event relied on the generosity of attendees, raffle ticket buyers, race sponsors and prize donors.

Special thanks were given to James and Bruce Oxley and all the volunteers who helped organise the event and ensure it ran smoothly.
