Winchester City Football Club have announced details of their Family Fun Day, which they are running in conjunction with the Joe Glover Trust, on Sunday 14th July.
The Joe Glover Trust is a local charity, which was set up after 8 year old Joe fell asleep for the last time in August 2006 after a brave battle with cancer. Since that time, the Trust has raised a huge sum of money, which has supported many local families who have children affected by Cancer. Also the Trust launched a major initiative which helped establish an IT suite in the children's ward at Southampton General Hospital.
The Family Fun Day will be from 12 Noon - 5pm on Sunday 14th July, at the Denplan City Ground, Hillier Way, Abbots Barton, Winchester. There will be a host of things to keep the kids occupied, including a Fire Engine, Bouncy Castle, Face Painting as well as plenty of food and drink!
City MP Steve Brine said: "I am so pleased after all the trials and tribulations we have been through recently, that we are now in a position where the reborn club can put on this Family Fun Day. It is particularly pleasing that they have linked up with the excellent Joe Glover Trust, a fantastic charity which I met up with recently, and I wish everyone all the very best for what should be a brilliant event."
There are two games of football to watch: At 2pm there will be a game between a Joe Glover X1 - made up of many of Joe's old school friends - and a Winchester City Under 16 team.
Then, at 3.15pm (approx) Winchester City will play a crunch game - against the veterans from their FA Vase Winning Squad of 2004.
Admission to the ground is a mere £5 for Adults and/or a family including up to 4 children.
