A CHARITY golf day has raised £1,100 for a group helping former soldiers, sailors and airmen.

The Warminster, Westbury & Mere division of SSAFA Forces Help, received the boost after a tournament at Orchardleigh Golf Club, Frome. The club gave the use of the course free. Ninety-two golfers in teams of four took part. The winning team was Jan Light, Sue Dicken, Pete Dicken and Peter Merret, of Orchardleigh GC. Jan Light and Peter Merret won individual prizes.

Some of the £1,100 raised will pay for a new display stand which will be seen at shows around the area.
