A golf day held in memory of a long-time supporter of Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centre, in Boston, has raised more than £500 for the venue.

The annual Richard Laight Memorial Golf Day raised a total of £537 when it was held again this year.

Richard sadly died in September 2016 following a battle with cancer, prompting widespread tributes. He was 55.
