Lochgilphead Anthony Nolan Weekend

Following the success of the Oban Anthony Nolan events last August, WC Ian MacInnes and CC John Sweeney are planning another series of events this spring.  

Pictured above are WC Ian MacInnes and CC John Sweeney presenting Anthony Nolan's Regional Fundraising Manager, Lindsay MacCallum with a cheque for the money raised at the Oban events.

Our colleagues in Argyll & Bute will be continuing the fantastic work that they started last year with another campaign to get new names on the bone marrow register for our charity partners Anthony Nolan.

The weekend of the Friday the 29^th and Saturday the 30^th April will see a host of activities in Lochgilphead which should not only attract local people but will hopefully entice the wider Strathclyde Fire & Rescue family to enjoy a day out in Argyll. So far there are numerous activities planned and some of these are listed below. One of the main events will of course be the 7-a-side football tournament which will be hed on the Saturday and will be open to all.

The tournament is being organised by WC Ian MacInnes and CC John Sweeney, both based at Oban. Cost is £5 per player with a maximum pool of 9 players. A limit of 20 teams has been set, so please hurry and get organised to play in what is hoped will be an annual event on the SFR calendar. Further details are available from Ian or John.

The weekends planned events include:

 - Donor recruitment events at Lochgilphead Community Fire Station to allow you to join the bone Marrow register.

- The inaugural Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Johanna MacVicar Memorial 7 a side Football Tournament

- Friday Night Quiz in the Argyll Hotel, Lochgilphead

- Coffee Morning in Lochgilphead Church Hall

- Saturday night fundraising dance in Ardrishaig Hall

- Sunday Race Day/Karaoke Session

More information on exact times and ticket details will follow shortly. You can follow the progress of these events on a special Facebook page set up by John Sweeney or via the Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Facebook page.
