Aldershot and Camberley League The Aldershot and Camberley District Badminton League is hosting a charity Badminton event on 24th May, 2002 at Lightwater Sports Centre, in aid of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. As a twist to the normal charity event, badminton will be played continuously by the intrepid players for a 24 hour period starting at 9pm on the 24th! Players in the 24 hour event will be representing clubs and groups from all over Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire and will be sponsored for a specific time period. Carol Ashcroft, Chair person of the Aldershot and Camberley District Badminton League, said ‘All our members are keen to help a local charity and we picked the Phyllis Tuckwell as many of us know of friends or relatives who have been cared for there. I realise how important it is that the local community continues to support their work and we as a league have pledged to raise as much money as possible.’ Two of the Hospice nurses have already got their racquets and shuttlecocks at the ready! Linda Bone and Linda Browning have been friends for 20 years, and as well as sharing the same name, they are the same age, play for the same Badminton League and work together! Both Lindas are keen fundraisers for the Phyllis Tuckwell too. Linda Bone regularly runs stalls, raffles and sales and also organises an excellent plant stall at the Hospice whilst Linda Browning is often to be found helping out at bazaars, fetes and special events. The Lindas will be battling it out on court on the Friday evening before getting back to the Hospice for a late shift!
