41 Club members with a good memory will no doubt recall that on 5 December last year Simon and the members of his charity sub-committee organised a very successful charity night at Scarborough Rugby Club raising £3,100 for Chairman Dom’s nominated charities for the year Talking News and SPARKS.
On 5 March Simon and Vice Chair Richard presented each of the 2 charities with their share of the monies raised and in the case of the Talking News charity managed to obtain a free lunch.
Thanks to Martin W (who also received a free lunch) for the following photograph showing Simon and Richard pretending to give Mary Grunwell the Chair of the Talking News charity a cheque for £1,033.
Simon has asked for the following letter of thanks to be published in the 41 Club Newsletter:
41 CLUB CHARITY NIGHT DONATION HAND-OVER
Many thanks to all of you who supported our Charity Night last December and to the sub-committee that made it happen.
On 5th March, Vice-Chairman Richard Kirby and I visited both SPARKS and Talking News – our two designated charities for last year – and presented each with a formal letter from our club, highlighting the sum donated to them. (The actual monies were sent by BACs to them the same day).
The donations were very well received in both cases. The Charity Night raised £2,850 plus former Chairman Charlie kindly donated a further £250 from charity money remaining from his year, with the total being apportioned based on perceived need.
Yours in 41 Club
Simon Lockley
41 Club Charity Night Correspondent

Darren has arranged another Rugby Day and meal for Saturday, 26 October. The event proved very popular last year and we hope it will be a success also this year.
Scarborough are playing Rochdale.
The cost is £25.00 entry per person to be paid via your own Scarborough 41 Club personal account or £25.00 on the day to Darren. This covers entry to the match (viewing from either balcony or pitch side) and a 2 course meal.
We have 24 places available and Darren would appreciate if you could email him if you intend to come. His address is in the Club Directory (available via Mike Shingler if you have deleted your copy).
If there are insufficient numbers to make 24 guests (two tables) Darren will open it up to guests/family , but just initially he would like to see who can make it.
The meeting time is 1.00 pm in the Rugby Club function room upstairs and the meal commences at 1.30 pm followed by the match.
The bar will be open and ready for business.
If there are any special dietary requirements then please Darren know so he can arrange accordingly.
