A golf day to support the research project Born in Bradford is being held at West Bradford Golf Club.

The event on June 22 is being sponsored by Yorkshire Bank.

West Bradford Golf Club has donated their facilities for the day.

The Born in Bradford Golf Classic needs teams of four golfers to take part in the competition and everyone will have the chance to win a weekend for two in Paris.

Golfers will also be able to win a car if they are lucky enough to get a hole-in-one.

The event includes breakfast, a buffet and evening entertainment, as well as an 18-hole round of golf.

Martin Rothera, managing partner of Yorkshire Bank, said: "Born in Bradford is set to help improve the health of children worldwide but it needs plenty of support from local people and organisations in order to help achieve its aims and we are delighted to be able to sponsor this day.

"We look forward to raising money for the charity in June, whilst having a great day out."

Packages for the golf day start from £250 with profits going towards Born in Bradford, a project based at Bradford Royal Infirmary and will follow the lives of 10,000 babies born in the city over the next two years in a bid to find out the causes of ill health.
