In aid of Macmillan Cancer Support - they would arrive late afternoon and after meeting the Mayor of Trowbridge enjoy some local hospitality at The Dursley Arms - music etc. We intend to get as much media coverage as possible.

CLOSE SHAVE for DAN
The 15-year-old
The event was one of several organised by the Trowbridge and District Pool League Chairman Russ Matthews and his wife Dom, for their annual charity fundraising night, where all teams are asked to run an event in their own pubs to raise money for charity.
Dan's brave action raised more than £350 which will go to the Macmillan Nurses a very BIG THANKYOU Dan!!!
The evening raised another £650 which will be split between Macmillan Cancer Support and another charity.
Dan's father Russ Matthews, who is chairman of the Trowbridge Pool League, said: "It was a great night and my thanks go to everyone at the Dursley Arms who supported it”.
"An auction for a canal trip on charity flagship “Cypry” raised £200 and the men from the pool league took on the ladies' darts team and managed a 5-5 draw."
Young Dan's efforts also inspired pool player Tim Rose to offer to have his head shaved and moustache removed if regulars stomped up £40. His impromptu offer raised £160 Well done Tim and THANKYOU!!!.

POOL CHALLENGE MATCH - Thursday 13th December
Venue - The Dursley Arms - Trowbridge
Snooker players came out on top of the pool experts in a clash of the cuemen in Trowbridge.
Players from Trowbridge Snooker Club challenged the Dursley Arms pool team to a charity pool match and ran out 7-3 winners.
And after the match there were no excuses from Trowbridge Pool League chairman Russ Matthews, who organised and played in the match.
"Fair play to the snooker boys, they were very good and hardly missed a shot all night," he said.
"I don't think we will be challenging them to a snooker match in return, but there is talk of a second pool challenge next year and the snooker players are now thinking of putting a team in the pool league.
"We were well beaten, but the main thing was we raised over £460 for Macmillan Cancer Support."
