£100,000 has been donated to Guide Dogs UK at Pwllheli Golf Club.

The donation is from the estate of Steven M Thomas. Marilyn Selwyn, executor of his will, organised the presentation of £100,057.00.

Two guide dogs, their owners, and a representative from Guide Dogs.org, attended.

Steven died in 2023. It took 14 months to settle probate and sort out his estate.

He left money to friends, Willow Wood Hospice, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Guide Dogs UK, which will name a puppy, Stevie, after him, and another, Stigy, after his brother.

In the 1960s and 70s Steven was the saxophonist in The Taveners, and they played around Manchester.

A great golfer, he was a member of two clubs and caddied on the European tour.
