The 2012 line-up of one of the north east’s longest running celebrity golf events has been announced by organisers.

The competition will take place on 1st June at the De Vere Slaley Hall Hotel at Slaley in Northumberland.

The Youth Ministry Team Celebrity Golf Day and Dinner is regularly supported by high profile guests which have included Alan Shearer, Ant and Dec, Tim Healy, Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall and Strictly Come Dancing’s James and Ola Jordan – all of whom have confirmed support again this year.

Guests also include actress Poppy Jhakra from Waterloo Road and Coronation Street, former Newcastle United players Steve Watson, John Beresford, Rob Lee and Lee Clark, and television presenter, actor and musician Jonathan Wilkes who will be performing in the evening with his band.

The YMT Celebrity Golf Day and Dinner is organised by Father Dermott Donnelly, brother of Britain’s Got Talent and I’m A Celebrity Presenter Declan Donnelly, to support the Youth Village in the Derwent Valley.
