Thank you to everyone involved with the event. The support from everyone involved was overwhelming.

Dorset Destroyers Wheelchair Rugby Club Smash Their Way To Top Of The Table

Hi all, hope you are having a great bank holiday weekend. Apologies for the lack of comms. Our auction night a week last Friday was a huge success. We raised £1005. Great effort from everyone and thank you to all involved. Matt Griffiths provided some great entertainment for the evening. Great singer and guitarist, you should check him out, especially if you live in the Dorset area.
4Com our main sponsor from the event paid for the BBQ at Chapel Gate great venue.
It was great to get people back together from the event. The total at the minute is just over £9500 and we still have some money that is coming in. We are all humbled and overwhelmed with everyone involved with our event. The support has been fantastic, words can't describe what you have done. Thank you so much everyone. More updates will be made in the next week or so.
Thank you so much to everyone involved and enjoy your bank holiday weekend.
Cheers and enjoy!!

I could store sports wheelchairs in there and do technical work on them in the warm and dry :) :)

Next week we will be doing an update on the total so far (Y)

Cheers Nick (Y)

24 Hour plus Wheelchair Rugby Marathon – The Dorset Destroyers On Saturday, March 17th at 13.10, The Dorset Destroyers Wheelchair Rugby Club, 4com and the Royal Signals started their epic 26 hours of Wheelchair Rugby 5’s!! Articles and video about the 26 Hour Wheelchair Rugby Marathon:- https://youtu.be/Ms9ggZtiw-c http://ablemagazine.co.uk/dorset-destroyers-...

Apologies for the delayed response. It was a great event at the weekend and a the support received from all of our friends, family, local community, local businesses and everyone else who supported our event. You are amazing!! It made it worth the while organising the event.

4Com was our main sponsor and they were fantastic in supporting our event, ceating promotional videos, posters, bibs, providing players for the whole event and many more things too. Thanks to the Royal Signals and Cakes 4 Casualties your support was fantastic. Sean donated the hall hire for us to carry out the venue at Rossmore Leisure Centre

The players did great, as did all the volunteers and staff involved with our event. Without everyone mentioned above, the event would not have happened and been a success as it was. We still have money coming in from the event and we not get the final figures for a good 5 weeks or so yet.

Thank you again for all of your support, it really does mean a lot and we are overwhelmed with everyone's support and generosity. Have a great week and we will update you very soon with more great news.
