SUPPORT THE PHYLLIS TUCKWELL HOSPICE SUMMER MADNESS QUIZ

After the success of The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Christmas Quiz, sponsored by Marks and Spencer Aldershot, the hospice has launched a Summer Madness Quiz of 100 questions. The idea of the quiz is to have some light hearted fun whilst testing your knowledge at the same time and raising funds for the local hospice too. Entrance forms are available by contacting John Malyon on 01252 329842 or Graham Brookland on 01252 729400 xt 494  and will cost just £5-00. Prizes for the quiz will be announced shortly. The closing date for receipt of entries is July 26 2004.

GO YELLOW IN JUNE AND SUPPORT HOSPICE IN ANNIVERSARY YEAR

The yellow sunflower is the official emblem for all Hospices and this June the Phyllis Tuckwell is inviting all members of the community, companies, pubs, churches and schools to stage their own GO YELLOW event to raise money for the charity. The hospice would like to hear from anyone who would like to organise their own event such as a yellow raffle, a yellow cake sale, a ‘dress in yellow’ day or a yellow auction.

Last year over 3,000 children in schools across Surrey and Hampshire joined in the campaign by holding yellow mufti- days in June in aid of Phyllis Tuckwell and it is hoped that they will continue their support this year. There is still time to register your school for a yellow mufti day, so teachers and pupils are encouraged to contact Graham Brookland for further details.

Alternatively the hospice is holding a Tea Party in the beautiful gardens on Friday June 18. Come along and have a cup of tea and piece of cake for just £1-50 and be part of the nation’s biggest tea party and help support the hospice too.

The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice relies almost totally on fundraising initiatives such as GO YELLOW to find more than £3.5million per year to continue the role that it plays within the community. Most families know of a family member or friend who has been cared for by the hospice.

For more information on GOING YELLOW this June, contact the fundraising department on  01252 729400  or visit www.phyllistuckwellhospice.org.uk.

Seven bouts were contested between representatives of the Army Boxing Association and a Home Counties Select Team. An assortment of alternative fundraising activity proved popular during the evening including an Auction that included assigned Chelsea FC shirt, a signed Surrey Cricket Club bat and a signed montage of Jimmy Greaves.
