Charity match - Gary Thompson

[Guest]

Please keep a note in your diaries for a charity match to be played on 7th March. This is being arranged for Gary Thompson who was a teacher at Furtherwick and Castle View schools until he discovered that he has a tumour on his brain. Gary also coaches the kids down at Park Lane. The match will be between a Peter Taylor celebrity XI and Sky One's Dream Team! Among others, Glenn Hoddle, Paul Davis, Justin Edinburgh, Paul Allen and Neville Southall will be up against The Dream Team regulars and Ralph Little (Royle Family) and Gary Beadle (Paul Truman from Eastenders) plus many more. Tickets will be modestly priced and it should be a great day for all. Also being arranged for April (date to be confirmed) is a School Disco at Castle View School which will hopefully generate some more money to Gary's fund, whilst making for a top night. I know that the band that will be playing live are excellent. Any questions (or donations), please reply and I will answer on here or via email.

Quality.....Gary was one of my first Teachers when I was attending Castle View some 8 or so years ago. He is a top bloke and a good teacher. I will certainly be making a donation and going to the game. Also fancy giving Fletch a bit of stick from the sidelines so thats an added bonus!!
