Foundation of Light Golf Day returns for 2024
Foundation of Light Golf Day returns to the Prince Bishops' course at Ramside Hall on Thursday 25th July.
We’re very excited about next year’s challenge which takes in some beautiful scenery along a route less travelled by cycling groups. Our International Cycle Challenge is one of our favourite events and the feedback we get every year from those who take part is fantastic. During the ride, friendships are forged, memories made, and goals accomplished, and we’d welcome enquiries from anyone considering taking part.
