Here is a video clip of Lucie Campbell, one of our students we funded in her bid to work on stage. Lucy is now a lead vocalist onboard Aida Cruises ships. Here she is, performing Blondie’s “Call Me” during a Baltic cruise in June 2015. She has come a long way and we are very proud of her achievements.

13th Lisa Wilson Golf Day breaks all records
Trish Wilson wins Ladies’ Nearest The Pin
The 13th Lisa Wilson Golf Day at Wellow on Saturday 25th was an overwhelming success. Whilst the weather had been atrocious on the Friday before, Lisa sent a lovely day of sunshine for the golfers to enjoy. With 100 Wellow members playing in the members tournament and 36 in the friends and guests competition the golf was really well supported.
Some 80 friends sponsors and guests came along for the evening meal and about the same number of members, filling the clubhouse with 160 for the prize giving and star cabaret.
Former Scholarship winner Charlotte Lystor spoke emotionally about her experience as a recipient of a Lisa Wilson Scholarship and the life changing way in which it had affected her life.
The star cabaret was performed by singer/songwriter and comedian, Steve Womack, who delivered an outstanding performance. The raffle raised £755 and the silent auction raised £1055. After the raffle,the singer and good friend entertained the audience with his usual smooth style and had everyone on the dance floor until the close at midnight.
With sponsorship and donations coming in at over £7000 plus members entry fees, the amount of money raised is expected to be in excess of £9000–another 9 years added to Lisa’s amazing legacy.
Thank you all for your amazing support.
Who’s the “Double” Daddy?!

Following on from the win at Salisbury on July 11th Who’sthedaddy took to the track over a mile and a quarter at Lingfield on Wednesday 15th. Ridden again by jockey Timmy Murphy, he ran a great race to record a double within 5 days!!
Plans are now in place to go for the “treble” on Friday 24th at Chepstow at 8.55, upping the trip to a mile and a half. The Lisa wilson scholarship Fund Annual Charity Golf Day takes place the following day – so no pressure!!
Fingers Crossed!!
Who’sthedaddy is the daddy!!
‘Friends of the Evelyn Rose’ appeal pose with jockey Timmy Murphy
On Saturday 11th July, Salisbury Racecourse saw Who’sthedaddy romp home to win over a mile and a quarter, winning his first race as a three year old. Over 20 friends attended the evening meeting which had been auctioned for the ‘Friends of Evelyn Rose’ appeal.
Jockey Timmy Murphy was a late change and his experience did the trick with a textbook ride.
Who’sthedaddy is the second colt foaled by Lisathedaddy whose name was taken from Lisa’s e-mail address.
Trish and trainer Dan Kubler discuss ‘the plan’
