CRICKET LEGENDS
ARE TOP SCORERS
FOR DOVE COTTAGE

Two of the greatest cricketers ever have been active
in supporting Dove Cottage recently.Sir Gary Sobers
visited Dove Cottage as part of his day in the area
helping raise funds for us.
Sir Gary, formerly of Nottinghamshire and the West Indies
cricket teams, was the guest speaker at a gentlemans
sporting dinner at The Plough , Stathern, but also took
the opportunity to visit the hospice, tour the facilities
and meet guests and staff.
And New Zealander Sir Richard Hadlee, also a former
Nottinghamshire star, helped raise funds when he was a
guest speaker at a similar dinner in Stathern. The two
events raised £1000 for the hospice.
Sir Richard has kindly signed a bat that will be auctioned
at our St Michaelmas Day charity ball on September 29.
Sir Gary has signed two Dove Cottage tee-shirts that will
feature in the auction at the Cheese and Wine event on
July 28.
