Lyme Regis Golf Club has generously presented a cheque for £5,000 to Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support, raised through fundraising events hosted by the club's men's and ladies captains

Club captain Steve Hames and ladies captain Mary Minter presented the cheque to Mary Kahn, founder of the local charity.

Both captains have chosen Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support as their nominated charity for this year.

Steve added: "Both Captains have chosen to support our local charity and appreciate the work and services they provide to those affected by Cancer in the area."

"We have more events planned through the rest of our time as Captains of the Golf Club", he added.

Mary Kahn said: "We are so grateful to Lyme Regis Golf Club, its members, guests and all that have contributed to the fund raising.

"We support anyone affected by any cancer in our area and this will help us to continue to provide needed help and care to many in our community".
