INVITATION GOLF DAY IN SUPPORT OF MELANOMA UK

Join the Evans /Rowswell family and PGA Professional Golfer, Sean Brady, at the 'Invitation Golf Day' at Eaton Golf Club in memory of Neil Evans.

On Friday, July 8th Eaton Golf Club Norwich Norfolk is hosting an Invitation Golf Day raising funds for a Horus Mole Mapping Machine costing £50k for the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.

This machine helps to diagnose the early stages of Melanoma and if Neil Evans had been treated with this machine possibly his life could have been saved.
