Organisers Paul Strudwick, & Nick Maltby are pleased to report that this year’s event, held on 3rd Oct at Newark GC, surpassed all expectations by raising a record £1850 in memory of NRUFC rugby, cricket & golf stalwart Hugh Daybell.
This impressive sum has since been generously rounded up to £2000 by two of Hugh’s old friends and will be shared by the three causes agreed upon with Hugh’s family- The Brain Tumour Charity; All Saints Church, Coddington, where Hugh was a long standing Church Warden, and the Newark Rugby Club Building for the Future Appeal, in memory of the many happy hours he spent there in various capacities.
Paul & Nick thank all of those who supported the day in any way, particularly auctioneer, Charles Hine, whose efforts boosted the funds significantly, and look forward to catching up with you again on October 2nd 2019. Same place, same time.
