Who will win the Lily Cup?

8th September is a big day in the annual Lily calendar – it’s the Lily Golf Day, sponsored by Omnia! If you’ve been before, well, we’ll see you on the fairway at the beautiful Croham Hurst Golf Club. If you haven’t, this could be your chance to have your name engraved on the most coveted prize in golf – the Lily Cup.

And as well as the ultimate prize, there’ll be a raffle and on-course contests such as ‘nearest the pin’ and ‘longest drive’ for the really competitive amongst you.

Alongside all the sporting action, we’ll keep you well fed and watered with bacon butties and coffee and tea at tee-off, and a delicious 3-course carvery meal in the clubhouse afterwards. And just think, by playing a round of golf and enjoying a good feed you’ll be helping to improve the lives of children and adults affected by mitochondrial disease.

Tickets are selling fast, but there’s still time to get a team of friends together, or how about introducing a bit of friendly rivalry by getting a few work colleagues involved?

So pull on your cap, lace up your golf shoes and grab your clubs... will you win the Lily Cup?
