Central Midlands Football League Presentation to Red Oaks

TUESDAY 21st JUNE 2011

The 3rd cheque of the Central Midlands Football League 2010/11 season was awarded to Red Oaks, which is based just on the outskirts of Rainworth, Nottinghamshire. The cheque was for the total of £424.33 and was raised through Mrs Hazel Hornby selling Raffle Tickets at Central Midlands Football League Cup Finals, programmes at the CMFL Bonanza and Clubs donating money and also referees also donating their fees.

Red Oaks is a very friendly place and made me and Hazel feel very welcome from the time we arrived to the time we left,
The Centre caters for Adults with different abilities, which is normally forgotten about in today’s society, so it was a great pleasure to visit this Centre and meet some of the people that use the service.

Central Midlands League Donation to Homeless & Rootless in Sheffield

Well Yesterday(Friday 3rd June 2011) me and Hazel ventured up to meet Central Midlands League Referee's Secretary Mark Senior to go to present Homeless & Rootless in Sheffield a cheque for £424.33, which was one of the Charities that we had collected for over the past season.

We presented the cheque in Father Tim's(yes Father Tim, not Father Ted and yes the chap was Irish) garden, as the centre only opens at Christmas, as the charity has to find £1500 a year just to open the doors for Health & Safety and to hire the premises(you would think somewhere would open their doors for free for a week wouldn't you?) People come from all over the place to help make sandwiches, meals, clothe and just help the homeless people.
