Title: Ben mclean charity event
Post by: kevmclean2001 on November 26, 2017, 13:12:58 PM
Hi folks
I am trying to organise a one day charity event
In memory of my son Ben
Who we lost in accident 2 years a go

We already hold a golf day at home
Which has raised over £5000
For various charities

Thinking of having a one day pool competition
At new year holiday in Calis
Myself and Ben
Loved cycling having a beer and a game of pool.
I would like all money raised to go to the 3cs charity
(Pm me please)

We would need at least 16 players to make it a worthwhile event
30 lira entry
All going to charity
I will supply trophies and prizes for winners

Anyone interested can add there name here
There will also be posters Locally

Any support would be greatly appreciated
And maybe get to meet a few new faces

Will be held in Anna gardens
Provisionally jan 2 nd

Thanks

So sorry to hear this but what a wonderful sentiment.
Would you like me to ask Mick Mc Cauley and John Ross who organise the winter pool league if they could post on the 3cs pool and darts page to get players?

We are looking for 16 players for pool

We may be able to add darts if anyone interested

Could make a busy day
And raise more money for the charity
Thanks x

On behalf of the 3C's, I would like to thank you so much for this super offer. As you know we have a pool and darts league so should be able to conjure up enough bodies to join in. A number of our members are away at that time but I see no problems at all. I'm so sorry that you lost Ben, but what a wonderful way to honour his memory. We will be in touch as soon. Cathy x

Hi Kevin,
As I guessed, many of the 3C's members are actually away at that time, but Peter Phillips will join in.
You're getting closer to your required number!
We're incredibly grateful for this. My colleagues were worried that because of the time of year, (possibly poorly heads after New Year and others being away either in Antalya or back in the UK), that there might be a problem recruiting sufficient bodies.
Well done Anna Garden and as usual, CBF members.

Cathy

Brilliant all of this, Mick is away but he would have loved to have participated. It will be an enjoyable competition and raise lots of money for a worthy cause.
