Fund Raising Family Fun Day
New Mills AFC will be hosting a Family Fun Day on Saturday 10th May in aid of the Craniofacial Unit at Alderhey Childrens Hospital in Liverpool.
The event is being organised by Club member Tracy Shufflebotham whose 14 month old son Ethan suffers from a condition called trigonocephaly. This is the premature fusion of the metopic suture (part of the frontal suture which joins the two halves of the frontal bone of the skull) in which a V-shaped abnormality occurs at the front of the skull. Ethan will soon be undergoing a major eight hour operation at Alderhey Childrens Hospital where craniofacial specialists will correct the deformities to the bones in both his face and skull.
 
Tracy is therefore organising a fund raising day for this extremely worthwhile cause and planned events include -
-    table top raffle and tombola
-    female head shave
-    male waxing 
-    face painting 
-    kids football on the Astroturf
-    Beat the Keeper -  all four New Mills AFC goalkeepers have kindly agreed to take part in a penalty shoot out.     
The clubhouse is open all day, hot and cold food will be available during the day (lets hope the sun is shining) and local band The Link will be playing in the marquee until 4pm followed by a disco in the evening. 
 
The fun starts at 11.30am so everyone is urged to come along and enjoy the Family Fun Day and support Alderhey Childrens Hospital.
