TWO major fund-raising events are planned by Stafford Rangers Independent Supporters Trust (Stripes) between now and the end of the season.
The event will also feature a leading comic, while John Stiles, son of former Manchester United and England midfielder Nobby, will be MC on the evening.
Tickets cost £20 each, including a fish and chip supper. For more details and to book tickets, contact Phil Bennett on 01785 602014.
Phil is also the person to contact for those wishing to attend the next event on the Stripes calendar, a big darts night, also at the Boro social club, on Thursday, April 11.
The evening features two well known professionals, Steve ‘The Bronzed Adonis’
Beaton and Wayne ‘The Wanderer’ Jones. There are two ticket prices for this special
evening, £15 and £25 (VIP). The higher price ticket includes a meet and
greet with Beaton and Jones, in the social club’s Legends Suite prior to the action.
