Top Story of the Day::::
Have a FREE conscience this
Christmas and help Tyson deliver knock-out blow to Cancer
|
|
Broughton second row forward Paul Tyson is getting on his bike and it's all for
a great cause.
"I have decided
to take the long trip in the summer to travel 488kms from London to Paris for
the experience of a lifetime.
After finding
out last year that my dad had cancer it was extremely tough for all of us;
friends and family. My dad is battling on through and doing well; thanks to very
skilled operations and good treatment.
If my dad can
get through that then it is only a little thank you for me to torture myself for
a few days."
So, what better way to spend the season of goodwill by
sponsoring Tyson and help him reach his £1500 target! You can do so by visiting
his fundraising page at
http://www.justgiving.com/paultyson (registration required, but please bear
with it and help raise more money through Gift Aid and keep the Taxman at bay!)
or why not send a cheque to him at the Club.
All monies are being raised for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing totally free, to give
terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families

Joy gets chance to mash the Swedes
Broughton's new stable mates, Lismore Ladies, have cause to celebrate the New
Year in the shape of the call-up of Joy Lyth into the Scotland 22 to face Sweden
at Meggetland on Saturday 10th January.
Joy was denied the opportunity to make her
International Debut back in November when the scheduled fixture against
Kazakhstan was postponed at the last minute.
Well done Joy.
Cup Clash rescheduled for 10th January
Broughton will start 2009 with the re-arranged SHE Cup clash away to Forrester
on Saturday 10th January.
The winners will be at home to Premiership 3 outfit Hillhead-Jordanhill in Round
4.
The losers will face the trip down the A1 to Pennypit to face National League 1
relegation candidates Preston Lodge in Round 1 of the Bowl.
Regardless of the outcome, the matches will be played on Saturday 14th February.
Food
for thought as Bibby double Dugald's dinner money!
With the
fantastic help of Bibby Line Group, the Broughton Rugby Club Annual Dinner, held
at their Clubrooms on 22nd November, raised a whopping £5125 for the Dugald
McArthur Trust Fund in association with the Hearts & Balls Charity.
The dinner was held to raise funds for Broughton member and former player Dugald
McArthur. Dugald was left paralysed from the shoulders down following an
accident in a game for his work team, Scottish Provident, back in 1996. At the
time he was also a very active member of Broughton, with whom he has retained a
close link. Despite Dugald's physical restrictions, his positive attitude and
outlook on like is second to none and a lesson to us all in a lot of respects.
Dugald's Trust Fund, managed by Hearts & Balls is currently in urgent need of
replenishing and with the help of the matched funding of the first £1500 raised,
this fantastic achievement and welcomed assistance from Bibby Line via the
Giving Something Back Community Programme has been warmly welcomed and
appreciated by all.
Dugald’s brother, Liam McArthur (MSP for Orkney) was extremely thrilled when
advised of the final figure, “That is a tremendous effort. I am enormously
grateful for all that you have done in pulling together what was a hugely
enjoyable and successful event. Getting to £5k is a tremendous feat, just
reward for all your efforts and a real boost to Dug's Trust Fund.”
Broughton President Mark A Brown, who is a Client Manager
with Bibby Financial Services in Edinburgh, spoke of his delight in achieving
the target with the support of the match funding. “Raising money for charitable
causes due to the current economic strains is really tough, therefore I am
delighted that Bibby have continued their match funding programme to support
Dugald” said Brown. He added, “These funds are vitally important to assist
Dugald who requires 24/7 care and without much needed fundraising events such as
this, he would not be afforded the quality of life that this brave man so richly
deserves.”
Everyone at the sell-out dinner was privileged to listen
to Kenny Milne, Brian Taylor and Carolyn Stait recall tales, tell a few funnies
and pick on a few people in the hall!
Rugby Football once again showed it's unique qualities as a sport of comradeship
and kindness and we have been fortunate enough to have support from fellow rugby
club's in Scotland by way of donations.
Hearts and Balls aims to ensure that those connected with rugby are supported by
the wider rugby community in times of need. This assistance can be long term or
short term; it can be financial and non-financial; it can be directed towards
and individual or towards a group; it can be advocacy and advisory. For further
