Charity Night - another to remember

The latest charity night was another resounding success - thanks to the organisers, volunteers and members.

With Ents Secretary Maureen Bowler organising superb entertainment for the evening, complemented by the volunteer waiters and waitresses, many members thought this was the best charity night held at the Club.

Members dipped into their pockets, so much so that we collected £500 on the night in tips alone! This money will be presented to the Lady Zia Wernher school for the disabled - a local charity which we are pleased to support.

The ongoing fundraising to help Sean Downey in his bid to reach the Olympics reached its conclusion with a grand total of £1,800 - a tribute to the efforts of many people, including steward Mick Murphy and members who donated raffle prizes. This money will go towards Sean's training costs and should he eventually be selected for the Great Britain Olympics in 2008, then the Club will offer to do some final fundraising for our young footballer.

Photographs of the presentation of the cheques hopefully will appear here later.
