Eden Valley Hospice Appeal

SATURDAY, 20th FEBRUARY 2009

Keep your eyes peeled for further details of a fund raising event in aid of the Eden Valley Hospice in Carlisle.  This follows the sad death of Hannah Jackson, mum of forwards coach Colin Jackson and dear wife of Geoff, who is a member of our rugby committee.

Hannah spent her final days at the hospice and the family were so impressed with the standards of care and compassion, that they have made it their goal to raise funds to assist with the invaluable work that the hospice do.

The hospice need to raise around £5000 a day to maintain their current standards of provision of a facility that, in future, any of us may come to rely on.

Colin said, “As a family we were immensely impressed with the care given to mum, and the compassion shown to all her family and friends, during her stay in the Eden Valley Hospice.  We are very grateful for their support and we would like to repay them in some small way, by raising much needs funds to help them to continue their wonderful caring service.”

SATURDAY, 20TH FEBRUARY 2009 will see an event staged at Carlisle Rugby Club starting at 7.00 pm.  Tickets will shortly be available at £5.00 per head.

Cougar’s Halloween Night

The Cougars Halloween Quiz was a success for 3rd year running! Eighty-four contestants took part in the annual Halloween quiz at the club on Friday 30th October.

Burbush’s of Penrith again donated award wining pies which were much appreciated at the interval, and Martyn and Melanie attended the event.

First prize, a meal for four at Toby Carvery, was won by Philippa Bell (Vice Captain), Penny Leck, Rosie Tyson and Jenny Royston. The fancy dress was as creative and varied as ever ranging from the incredible hulk, a Ninja turtle, a few cats and witches, strange gouls and Dorothy from the wizard of oz (???)

The Cougars would like to thank Belinda Lloyd for all her hardwork and effort in organising the event again. The night raised £500 for club funds.
