Andrew Scott Robertson previously sponsored the event when it was last held in 2017. Marc Gregory, Director of Residential Sales, said: ?Taste of Sport is a brilliant community day out. It?s a chance for families to get together in beautiful South Park Gardens, try some fun activities and compete against friends in some sporty challenges. Best of all we?ll be raising money for some really good causes, via the amazing Molly?s Smile Fund. Let?s hope we get plenty of sunshine!?
Additional sponsors are the park?s personal training crews – Fitwise, HA Fitness, Fitnessize and Fitstate as well as Bliss in the Park.
This year’s tournament will take place on Friday 11th May 2018 at Mitcham Golf Club, once one of the most exclusive courses in the country.
