The Midlands Legends Charity Golf Day and Dinner will return on Thursday 30 March 2023, and will again support West Bromwich based charity, the Kaleidoscope Plus Group. The star-studded event will take place at Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel and Country Club and will feature teams made up of ex-professionals representing the Midlands' eight biggest football clubs on the golf course, as well as the opportunity to enter your own team.
If you are a keen golfer, a group of friends, or a local company, there are a limited number of places available to join and represent your favourite club in a four-ball alongside a club legend. On the world-famous Arden course, the former British Masters and English Open venue, anyone interested in participating can gain those all-important supporter bragging rights in a once in a lifetime experience.
The Midlands Legends Charity Golf Day and Dinner will see Aston Villa, Leicester City, Birmingham City, Wolves, Nottingham Forest, Derby County, WBA and Port Vale! Ex-players such as Stephen Warnock, Matt Jarvis, Shaun Teale, Nigel Jemson, Dave Edwards and Stephen Hunt are all set to feature with many more names being announced. Last year saw local favourites like Chris Brunt, Peter Odemwingie, Russell Hoult and Lee Naylor all take part. The money raised will enable the Kaleidoscope Plus Group to provide life-changing services, promoting positive health and well-being, challenging the stigma around mental health, and creating inclusive communities.
The Kaleidoscope Plus Group have five decades of experience and helps thousands of people across the UK each year and offers a range of services for people in need, struggling with their emotional health and well-being. The charity celebrates their 50th anniversary this year, with the Midlands Legends Charity Golf Day and Dinner one of their first events of the year
