A truly remarkable £8,500 was raised at Ladies Day 2016; over £6,000 came from the auction of players’ shirts alone with two shirts fetching well over £1,000 apiece. This was the third Ladies Day event and the total raised so far is an astonishing £16,500.
Huge thanks are due to organiser Wendy Leamon and her team of helpers, not least Nicole Highmore and Liz Hawes, as well as to everybody that supported the event and gave so generously.
Much as I'd like to now announce the date for next year's event, we can't do that until next season's fixture list is published. But what we do know is that Ladies Day 2017 will coincide with the first home league game for the 1st XV - so one of the first three Saturdays in September 2017.
