Family members step up to the plate at Daniel’s memorial event

Gedney Hill Golf Club’s Daniel Markillie Memorial Competition raised a staggering £3,511 for local charities.

In a nice twist, two of members of Daniel’s family won the top individual prizes on offer at the event too.

The overall winner was Alex Markillie (Daniel’s brother), while the winner of the ladies’ competition was Janet Davis (Daniel’s grandmother).
