Dear Club Secretary,
One of our players, Daryl 'Brum' Thatcher, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in August. He had played for us for over 10 years. He was in the Navy and also played for his ship's side. In order to honour his memory and to raise some money for his widow and 3 children, we are going to play a match against his ship's side at the Rectory on the evening of Monday 20th November.
All are very welcome to attend, anyone who knew him or would like to support the cause is invited.
In order to raise money, we have invited sponsors to buy the kits for the match and on conclusion the players will buy their shirts. There is also to be a raffle and an auction. As players move around clubs and many of the men he had served with have changed ship, the two sides will be named; "Brum's Civi XV" and "Brum's Navy XV". Paul Dickinson (Landlord of the Sir Joshua Reynolds in Plympton) has paid for one kit. The other has been funded by Going Places Nursery and A Stephens Plumbing.
