Gavin Anderson/Sobell House Appeal

THE GAVIN ANDERSON SOBELL HOUSE APPEAL

Gavin Anderson passed away in Sobell House, Oxford on 18 January 2010 after a 10-month battle with cancer. Gavin leaves behind wife Marilyn and sons Lee and Tim.

Gavin wanted a fund to be set up to support the fantastic work done by Sobell House in their care of cancer patients and a dedicated website details the programme of events for 2010 aimed at raising a substantial amount for the fund. More details on all events can be obtained by visiting: http://www.gavinandersonappeal.co.uk/

Gavin was extremely well known around Oxfordshire as one of Oxford’s premier Aunt Sally players and in recent years had also started playing bowls. These two sports, along with darts, are represented in the various events that will be held in 2010.The club will be hosting key events associated with this appeal in Gavin's memory.

26 June 2010 - BOWLS DAY

The Bowls Day took place at Oxford City and County Bowls Club: a full day event with the highlight being a Mixed Triples event with an all day BBQ, various side stalls and a Tombola. There was a competition cash prize fund of £400.

The winning team was: Vic Bye, Jackie Gray and Richard Jackson.

Much of the prize money was donated back to the fund and, as a result, the total funds raised by this event alone was £1700. It was such an enjoyable day as well and all those who organized it couldn't have been happier with how it went. Some people have even asked for it to be an annual event!!
Marilyn, Lee and Tim wish to thank all those who gave such generous support.
