The Foundation is holding a lunch with special guest Sir John Major in the Leeds area* on Wednesday, June 29^th. This follows the success of our dinner with Sir Michael Parkinson last September, when many people were unable to obtain tickets due to the high demand.

There are only 25 tables of 10 available for this event and so early booking is advised.

Individual bookings are £37.50 per head; a table of 10 is £350.00 if booked and paid for before 30^th April. Thereafter a table of 10 will be £365.00.

With the full approval of Sir John, the lunch will be a ‘Yorkshire Fayre’ with a Yorkshire Pudding Starter, Marinated Lamb and an Assiette of Rhubarb from our Yorkshire ‘triangle’, with Coffee and Mints to follow. (Vegetarian option available).

Sir John is a Founding Patron of the Foundation and has been expressing a desire to help directly for some time. We look forward to welcoming him.

All proceeds will go to The Dickie Bird Foundation, a registered charity established by the ex-Test Match umpire in March 2004 to help young people from financially disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue their sporting dreams.

The Foundation hopes you are able to attend and looks forward to welcoming you at the Lunch.

Our February Meeting was even better with £1,200 given in grants.

The mother of one of our grantees has informed us that her son, a talented badminton player is in with a chance of representing Scotland in the next Commonwealth Games. This his mum says is all down to the grant he was awarded that allowed him to continue his progress.

Well done goes to Duncan for his efforts and our best wishes. 

Remember any purchase you make at our stand will be helping towards grant for financially disadvantaged children.

Look forward to seeing you there.
