Thursday
November 8th The Seniors Annual Poppy Day event
In
past years this memorable event was always arranged by one of Clays Seniors
Past Captains, Ken Lawrence who sadly passed away earlier this year. This
year’s event was once more well supported and in memory of Ken a new Trophy
“The Ken Lawrence Memorial Trophy” was presented to the winner. This year it
was presented to Bill Kelleher who scored 41pts. Two of Ken’s sons Chris and
Glyn also competed in the event. Ken’s
daughter Cath also attended at presentation. Kevin Forbes was present, from the
Royal British Legion in his capacity as lead fundraiser, to collect the money
raised from the Poppy Appeal event. The
Trophy was present by Ken’s widow Shirley to Bill with rapturous applause from
all the seniors present and in honour of Ken.
The
proceeds for the day including the raffle resulted in over £450 for the Royal
British Legion. Monies were presented to Kevin Forbes from the Royal British
Legion in his capacity as lead fund raiser by Clays Seniors Captain Colin Brown
who over saw the presentation and made all announcements. This year the event
was organised by Peter Almond and John Kelty.
The
results for the day were
1. Bill
Kelleher 41pts
2. Ray
Martin 38pts
3. Malcolm
Williams 38pts
