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
