Cancer Research Charity game raises lots of money

You will be delighted to hear that the game on Saturday, actually achieved £935!

This was helped by some very generous local businesses who donated prizes for the raffle, held after the match.

The game itself was very entertaining and Eastbourne were 17-0 down at half time however playing up hill second half managed(some how) to put 21 points on the board with one try from Martin King and two from Oli Mayo,with each being converted by Aaron Standing, making the final score 21-17 to Eastbourne.

So in summary, a sunny day, great entertainment, a small amount of booze consumed and a lot of money raised!

Thank you to all of the businesses that kindly donated raffle prizes to the game in aid of Cancer Research

One hundred and forty members of the club and their guests enjoyed a fundraising dinner held at the Grand Hotel on Friday 21st September. Timed to coincide with the Rugby World Cup, the event was made possible by the generosity of sponsors and also by the efforts of Bruce Hayter and Lynette Rendle at Rix & Kay, sponsors of ERFC

Highlights of the evening included the general conviviality; excellent food and wine and the unique ambience of the five star Grand Hotel. However it was David Duckham MBE, ex England and British Lion who proved to be the star attraction.  As an after dinner speaker he proved to be masterful; his audience, it can be safely assumed, enjoyed every minute of his address which had something for everyone. The evening concluded with an auction of sporting memorabilia from which a signed picture of Jonny Wilkinson was particularly sought after

WE NEED YOUR HELP

In an effort to contact and engage as many of our present and past non-playing  members as possible, we have prepared a directory of over 180. This includes a large number of past players with which there has been little contact in recent years but for whom we have contact details, so we can remedy this deficiency on the part of the Club. However, there are quite a number of other past members, principally former players, who we would dearly like to contact and re-engage them into the Club’s fortunes and activities but we simply don’t have their contact details. We’ve listed them below.
So if you have their current addresses, phone nos., and/or email addresses can you please send them to:

Peter Lloyd at 51 Burton Rd., Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 2RF, Phone : 01323 – 723905. E-mail: pblloyd@tinyworld.co.uk or Suzanne Wood at 133 Milton Rd., Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 1SS, Phone: 01323-739179. E-mails: suandalwood@dsl.pipex.com or suzannewood@price.co.uk

Or you may wish to contact them yourselves first to ensure they wish to provide these details. Our aim is to have an active but informal Patrons’ Association and to have regular news items involving members of such a group on our web site.

THOSE WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT:

Colin Attwood, Mark Feeney, Paul Goad, Tony Nurse, John Purnell, Robbie Wakeling,
Bob Waite, Dave Webbon, Rod Reynolds, and Ryan Stevenson
