Lisa’s Golf Day raises over £6000

Lisa’s Golf Day took place on Saturday August 2nd at Wellow Golf Club where Lisa worked and played golf for some eight years. Over 180 players turned up on a glorious summers day to join in the competition. It was particularly fitting that Lisa’s mum Tricia won the ladies guests and sponsors competition. During the evening over 150 people attended the prize giving and barbeque that was followed by music and dancing from the ‘One Hit Wonders’.  Entry fees, donations and sponsorship raised over £4000.  A charity auction carried out by Denis Bundy raised £1715, and the raffle brought in another £424, bringing the grand total to over £6000.

We would like to thank everybody for their support and hope this will become an annual event on the Wellow calendar.

To coincide with the event, an article about the golf day and the Scholarship Fund was featured in the August edition of And Magazine. Please click here to view the article.

Lisa’s Garden

We have created a garden underneath Lisa’s bedroom window in her memory.  The two centrepieces are a beautiful Japanese maple tree and a water feature in the well. The water feature runs twenty four hours a day.  Lisa loved beautiful things and she loved water.

Donations to be auctioned for Lisa’s charity

Various items have been donated to be auctioned for Lisa’s Charity for an event to be arranged for 2004. Some of the most famous names from sport and pop music have donated memorabilia that should help the fund. Pop super star Craig David a huge Saints fan has signed a Saints No 7 shirt that has also been signed by Le God himself Matt LeTissier. 1966 World Cup hero Gordon Banks has donated a limited edition England print signed by all the surviving members from that World Cup winning team. Toyota F1 Racing have supplied a framed picture signed by drivers Christian De Matta and Olivier Panis and former England Captain and Manager Kevin Keegan has signed a shirt form when he played for Saints. Several other donations have also been received and any other memorabilia would be much appreciated.

Matty’s last game raises over £1000

Matt Le Tissier donned his boots for the last time to play for Eastleigh against Winchester City in the Hampshire Chronicle Cup. Over 1000 turned up on a hot Sunday afternoon to see the great man play, although he didn’t score he rattled the post from a free kick with the keeper stranded and came close on another occasion. Twenty five percent of the gate money was donated to Lisa’s charity and along with a raffle and charity auction the fund benefited by to the tune of £1320. Before the game Matt was presented with a plaque by Lisa’s mum and dad for his outstanding services to football.
