Roy Finney, as President of Cove Cricket Club, organised a Cricket Fund Day on Sunday 28th July that featured a match between his President's Team and Cove's First Team.
The money raised with the end of day raffle was approximately £2,700 which will be split between the Cricket Club and Farnborough Rotary Club, who will donate its share to the Royal Surrey Hospital Projects.
Roy spent several months raising funds for the day, including funds from Shield Security for the afternoon buffet and prizes donated by many local businesses and residents. He also oragnised a secret auction for Olympic memorabilia signed by Sir Andy Murray and Sir Mo Farah.
Praise must be given to Roy who has raised over £100,000 over the years for many good causes, including his personal charity for his late niece, Natasha.
The photos are of Roy with the Farnborough Rotary Club President, Chris Harding, the magnificent buffet funded by Shield Security, and many of the prizes available through the raffle.
