I'm delighted to have recently joined the board of Cystic Fibrosis Trust, a charity which has been ever-present in my life following an early CF medical diagnosis for my sister Jo and brothers Stuart and John.
When my older siblings were born, life expectancy from those living with CF was considerably lower than its current level of 33 years, and I have seen the amazing transformation in my brother’s lives as a result of their use of some 'miracle' drugs, brought to the market in recent years. Sadly, the development of these life-enhancing drugs came too late for my sister, who passed away in late 2018 after living a full and courageous life.
To mark the 60th anniversary year of Cystic Fibrosis Trust, we’re organising a cricket tournament and an evening of entertainment at the home of Gloucestershire Cricket – the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol - on Thursday 16 May 2024. This event is kindly sponsored by Burges Salmon.
Three teams of cricketers will battle each other in a round-robin, 10-over format, with everyone given an opportunity to play at an international-class venue that regularly sees the calibre of Ben Stokes and Joe Root ply their trade. Our standard may not eclipse those England players but it will hopefully be no less special for people to have a bat and bowl in such surroundings!
Following the cricket (approximately 3pm-6.30pm), we will move to the prestigious Bristol Pavilion for food and musical bingo. There will be lots of fun and games and some incredible raffle prizes on offer in what is sure to be a really enjoyable and relaxed night. The evening will kick off at 7pm with the bingo expected to finish at 10pm and last orders at 11pm.
Cricketers can book their place on a team for £60. Those keen just to enjoy a fun evening can do so by purchasing a ‘burger and bingo’ place at £25 per head (or £225 for 10 people).
There are also fantastic sponsorship opportunities throughout the event, with details below.
We really hope to see you on 16 May to raise some valuable funds for a great cause.
With thanks and best wishes,
Neil Priscott.
Please note: Due to our cross-infection policy, we are unfortunately unable to host guests with CF.
