Sportsmans Dinner A Huge Success
The Foundation's first ever Sportsmans Dinner was a huge success. The following is a post taken from www.exeweb.com about the evening:
What a great night it was last night 150 people packed into Tiverton Town Football Club for a Sportsmans Dinner in aid of the Foundation. Jeff Stelling was the guest speaker and what a great speach he made, very natural and genuine. Mike Mullarcky was also there and even donated a match ball and programme for the auction. The evening raised nearly £8000....just shows people will dig deep for a great cause. A special mention to the Exeter City players who bid £1900 for the limited edition photo done by Cheggers....A round of appluase from all in the room last night as well as a standing ovation. For the city fans Taylor, harley, logan, sercombe, watson, duffy,cozic,tully were all there [aplogies if I missed anyone] Aswell as some ex players and many local clubs inc Elmore had tables there. Once again a fantastic Night,....well organised by the Foundation. A special mention must go to all of Adams family who were there helping to take our money off us. And all the auction items donated by various people.
It was a tremendous night enjoyed by all. A huge well done to Darren Pearce (Adam's brother in law) who had the original idea for this and organised it all. Also massive thanks to everyone involved and to those who donated items for the auction, and a special mention for Jeff Stelling who took time out of his busy life to talk on the evening. Thanks again guys, you keep blowing us away.
