CHARITY BLOG FOOTBALL MATCH NSL V AC WOLLATON - SATURDAY JUNE 4TH 2022

 

On SATURDAY 4th JUNE 2022, there is to be a very special CHARITY MATCH with the majority of CLUBS in the EUROSOCCER NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SENIOR LEAGUE supplying players to play against the mighty and well respected charity club AC WOLLATON. The CHARITY that I have chosen for the annual Charity Blog is the CHILDRENS BEREAVEMENT CENTRE.

With so many players offering their services to play for the NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SENIOR LEAGUE, the match will be split in to 4 x 30 minute quarters, if I still have too many players there will be a extra match of NSL players called 2 teams of Melons and Lemons kicking off at around 12.45pm.

With the day being the ROYAL SATURDAY, we would love to see the kids dressed up as Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses on the day.

 For NON PLAYERS and ALL ADULTS, admission is £3 but free for children.

We are trying to make it a family day with stalls like HOOK A DUCK, KICK THE BALL AT INFLATABLE DARTBOARD and a couple of stalls like a HOMEMADE CARD STALL as its FATHERS DAY 2 weeks after, also a JEWELERY STALL and SAMMY'S CHEESECAKES

Sadly I cant get anyone to come along to do face painting free of charge on the day for the kids in attendance.

Also we have THE BEEHIVE from Ollerton attending free of charge to bring along some characters like MICKEY & MINNIE MOUSE, RAPUNZEL and BEAUTY & THE BEAST, so your children can meet and greet them and have photos taken with them.

I am very grateful to CHRIS MUNROE and his backroom staff at BASFORD UNITED FC for donating to us the ground and their facilities for this very special day, also to Roberto the founder of AC WOLLATON and their players for involvement on the day

I have already put the raffle tickets out on sale, as there are over 100 prizes to be won and I will be listing them on here in the next couple of days with the sponsors names. I have set up a Bank Account called AROUNDTHEGROUNDS CHARITY BLOG, so if any one wishes to donate or buy any raffle tickets in advance then they can do.

The tickets are £1 each, the Charity Blog bank details are as follows:

 then email me to let me know that payment has gone through and I can email you your ticket numbers and colour of tickets. email robhregnsl@hotmail.com

UPDATE:  Already 70 Raffle Tickets SOLD. The Raffle will be drawn after the match, so if you do buy tickets at the game, then if leaving then let my wife know and she will write your details on the back of the tickets, so we can contact you.

Also after the match will be a Auction, as we have been kindly gifted several very good items including a LEICESTER TIGERS SHIRT SIGNED BY JOE HEYES, LEICESTER TIGERS & ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL PLAYER, some crates of REAL ALE donated by CASTLE ROCK BREWERY and other items.

The Charity is a small charity, as I have posted on my blog, I lost my daughter 32 years ago now and I still think where she would be now, what job if Id have grandkids etc, then 12 years ago we buried our 5 day old grandson, he would have started senior school now.

Having spoken to quite a few players, they have opened up to me and told me they have lost children and not ever being able to talk about it and how hard it has also been for their partners/wifes.

Im hoping on the day for a massive turnout from ALL the NSL clubs and players who will come along and pay their £3 in and support their mates and of course all groundhoppers etc. Of couse the more that come out and watch, the more the Charity makes.
