Fund Raiser appeal to help youth darts.....

hey Players, well the time has come for the PArkhill Youth Dart Team's annual Fundraiser dart tourney and Silent Auction. Last year we had great support from many different ppl and companies. We raised just under $900. for the day. The total funds went 100% to the youth league, in turn paid for the players trip to Youth Provincials in Belleville ontario (about 600 klm away). I had my head shaved this day which raised about $165 also... not bad for hair...lol..

This year we are sending 12 players to youth Provincials. We are planning another tourney in mid April. I already have some great items for the silent auction (which is where we make the $$.. since the tourney is 100% payout.)

So far we have shirts and darts coming from David Fatum, John PArt Shirts and a set of his darts. We have local items such as a few gift certificates.

We are looking to see if anyone else would be interested n donating ANYTHING to help out this cause. Dart Shirts, Sets of Darts, PAcks of flights, Cases.. anything that might bring in a few dollars for the youth league.

we have a web site up and running right now also if you would like to check it out, it has some profiles of some of the players, which is great reading.

We have a hair stylist here that will be doing the cutting and we will take pics of the full events all day...IF anyone would like to donate to the Coach getting shaved again, please let me know.

One Dart to appear at charity exhibition

WORLD darts star Peter Manley will be taking on allcomers during an exhibition of his skills for charity at Ludgvan Community Centre on Saturday, December 13 from 7.30pm onwards.

Nicknamed "One Dart" for his knack of hitting doubles with his first dart, Manley, 46, is currently ranked No 13 in the world, and has been a PDC World Championship finalist three times, twice being beaten 7-0 by Phil Taylor.

This famously led to a long-running feud between the two men after the 2002 final culminating in his refusal to shake Taylor's hand at the end of the match. These days a more relaxed Manley is better liked by fans since changing his entrance music to Is This The way to Amarillo?.

During his appearance at Ludgvan, Manley (pictured), who is co-sponsored by Penzance-based Chris Sedgeman Scaffolding, will be playing a series of about 15 games against local players and all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Precious Lives Appeal. There will also be a raffle.

For details contact Sue Rowe at the centre on 01736 740774. (story source...)

Legion hopes to hit bullseye with dart fundraiser

UXBRIDGE -- The Uxbridge Legion is hoping to hit the fundraising bullseye at an event this weekend.

The legion, located at 109 Franklin St., is hosting a 'dart-a-thon' on Sunday, Nov. 30, at noon, with competitions also at 1:30 and 3 p.m. that day. Participants will throw nine darts at each number on the board, totalling 180 darts, said Councillor Jack Ballinger, also president of the Legion.

The idea is to score the highest, hitting 'triples' as much as possible, he said.

Individuals and teams of four can enter. The team with the most pledges will win four tickets to a Toronto Maple Leafs game, with prizes for the second and third best efforts as well, said Coun. Ballinger.

The goal is to raise $4,000 for the Uxbridge United Way campaign, said the councillor.

Pledge forms are available in advance at the legion, or residents can walk in with a pledge the day of for some dart fun, he said. Food will be provided by the legion, said Coun. Ballinger.

I'm overwhelmed, says Archie's mum

THE MOTHER of a young boy who had to have both his legs amputated after being struck down by meningitis today said she was overwhelmed by the support the family had received from well-wishers.

Thousands of pounds have been raised to help care for Archie Barton, two-and-a-half, who had to have his legs, parts of his fingers, the tip of his nose and some of one ear removed.

Mum Nicky Barton said: "The fundraising has been brilliant. It's amazing what everyone has done for us. I don't know how to describe how the family feels about it all, to be honest."

The latest money-spinning stunt is at the Seymour Arms in Greenbank tomorrow, which is holding a 24-hour pool and darts marathon. (full article...)
