Over 100 keen golfers played the challenging Twenty Ten course at Celtic Manor just weeks before the Ryder Cup teams try it for themselves.  If the golf was not enough, our guests were then entertained after the evening meal by the renowned "voice of golf" Peter Alliss.

The event was co-hosted by SCC with additional sponsorship from RSM Tenon, Freeth Cartwright, London Print Design and Barclays.

 The day was a great success and The Anisa Group would like to extend its thanks to their guests and sponsors for making the day so unforgettable.

A good cause auction also raised much needed funds for the pioneering work being done at the Department of Rheumatology at Birmingham University.
