Yelverton Yella 0 Posted September 11, 2009 I know this is off-topic so apologies to the Board Police- but it is in a good cause! Many of us have been touched by cancer (I lost my mother to it) and may know something of the marvellous work of Macmillan Nurses in helping both the sufferer and their family.As well as my support for NCFC, I also help out with Wymondham Rugby club and, on Sunday, from 10.30 a.m. at the ground in Tuttles Lane, we are holding a ''Funday'' to support Macmillan. We have raised over £16,000 over the last few years and hope to make that £20,000 this year. All money raised goes directly to Macmillan with the stipulation that it should be used to help Norfolk people.Further details are here http://www.wymondhamrugby.com/index.php?id=584 and I defy anyone not to be moved by the story of Ollie, the youth player who had cancer and was saved by his brother''s bone marrow donation.If you can get to Wymondham on Sunday, do come and support this event and have some fun (The beer is good too!)

Yelverton Yella 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks to the mods. for pinning this post and to everybody who has taken the trouble to read it. Hope to see you all there tomorrow (are you playing jonnypncfc?). Apparently, I am manning the car park first thing and on the PA microphone during the main match if you want to make yourself known to me!''Barclay seats'', Jane was a great supporter of the club and very well liked by everyone who knew her- a sad loss indeed. I believe the Jane Icke Memorial match tomorrow will see a Wymondham youth side, including her son Kris, play Lowestoft &Yarmouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
