Reigate Heath Golf Club: giving 100%
An amazing team effort from Dom, Baz, Matt, Laurie, Will and George (and their entourage) from Reigate Heath Golf Club who challenged themselves to play 100 holes of golf in a single day in June 2021. They were up at the crack of dawn and finished at sunset. This really was no mean feat – …

Kelly: banging out tunes for 24 hours
Kelly from Boogie Monsters – the local rock band for children – took on the challenge of her life in December 2020. She pledged to go live on Facebook for 24 hours, singing and playing requested songs non-stop. It was amazing! She was never alone, even in the middle of the night she had friends …
