Super Matt

Thanks to all those who supported the Blue Chair Ball. An especially big thank you to Professor Charlie Craddock, Dr Nigel O'Connor and Artem Botcharov for speaking so eloquently and to Emily Bell and her committee for organising everything so brilliantly. When asked how she came to be so good at organising she said "I learnt it from my husband!"We have raised over£16,000 (we think), which should help people like Matt Stannard who left School House last summer and contracted Leukaemia in December 2006. He has bravely put up with four bouts of chemo so far and is hoping he will not have to endure anymore!

Matt likes cars and here he is in front of a particularly fine one or at least the blue chairs like the colour. Matt also likes football and he is hoping to continue his training to be a coach, (a National Express one?!), as soon as he gets the green light. We would like to wish him all the best. Good luck Matt and watch out Jose and Sir Alex!

The Easter Bunnies want you at our Blue chair ball!!

These Easter bunnies are big supporters of the blue chairs and are looking forward to the Blue Chair Ball at Shrewsbury School on Saturday April 14th at 7:30pm. They have heard that the excellent Rythmn Ambassadors are playing and that there will be a raffle with many top prizes as well as an auction, plus a silent art auction courteousy of the Broad gallery in London. Woh! Apparently there are still a few tickets left so why not ring Giles or Emily Bell on 01743280600 or email us at gjfb@shrewsbury.org.uk and join the party. Tickets are £40 each and all the proceeds will support our two Leukaemia charities.

Lenny Henry meets the blue chairs!

After performing his new show at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, Lenny needed a seat and the blue chairs were only too happy to oblige!
