"Some of you may have heard about a young man from Blackpool being involved in an accident whilst on holiday in Thailand, Dominic Chadwick. He is an old school and college friend of both myself and Nia Rutter and probably a few others from the club. He was studying at Edge Hill University to become a PE Teacher and was a very talented hockey player.
Dom has crushed the vertebrae in his neck and at the top of his spine. His holiday insurance is maxed out and his family are now left with a £15,000 hospital bill to pay and the job of getting him home to the UK safety with the medical attention he needs. Doctors have said that he will have a very difficult recovery and that only time and specialist help and rehab will tell if he will make a full recovery.
His friends and family are organising events to raise money to help get him home. The first big event starting on Thursday night next week - Thursday the 28th of August. They are holding an event at which bands and other acts will be there raising money for the family.
Both Nia and Myself would like to ask members of the club to help us raise some money to take along for next week. We were wondering if anyone would be up for taking part in a fancy dress training night and to collect donations, and help us with a raffle or 'guess how many sweets' competition.
If you have any questions or suggestions or would like any more information please dont hesitate to ask and if you would like to help us put some money into the fund we would be ever so grateful.

Thankyou.
