The class of 1995
Lisa’s Hounsdown School classmates are having a fundraiser on November 21st to raise funds for the charity and in memory of seven of that year who are sadly no longer with us.The event will take place at Totton and Eling Cricket Club and will feature The Band Driftwood, Joey-Brenig Jones and Mike Vaughn. There will be a raffle and buffet and tickets are priced at only £5 per head.
The idea was conceived by Lynne White who was a pupil in Lisa’s year and she has asked Clive to help organise the evening. This should be a great fun night and while it is a private party it is open to friends and family of the class.To buy or enquire about tickets call Lynne White on 07794 469260 or e-mail [email protected] or [email protected]

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.
