Chance to win a signed shirt - WST

By Walsall Supporters Trust
August 15 2003

The Walsall Supporters' Trust is raffling the signed home shirt worn by last year's player-of-the-season, Ian Roper, who was sponsored by the Trust. The shirt is being raffled in aid of Ian's chosen charity, the Acorns Children's Hospice, and has been signed by the current squad, including Merse.

The Acorns Children's Hospice cares for children who are life-limited -
that is unlikely to reach adulthood - and offers support to their
families. At the moment about 375 families in the West Midlands and
Gloucestershire receive Acorns' services. The Secretary of the Trust,
Phil Sturgess noted that "Acorns relies on the community to fund its
activities and we are very happy to encourage its work. We will be
pushing our members as hard as we can to support this local
organisation."

The proceeds from the sale will be split between the Hospice and the
Trust, in order to further the community-work of both organisations. The
Trust uses all of its proceeds to encourage Walsall FC and the local
community to work in partnership.

The raffle will be drawn on 13 September, following the home game with
Derby County, and the other prizes include: a signed Cardiff Play-Off
final programme; a football signed by the 2001 Promotion winning team; a
night out for two at the Bonser Suite; and a copy of Jimmy Walker's
autobiography.

Tickets cost 50p each and books of 10 are available from:
Walsall Supporters' Trust, 3 Hollinwell Close, Bloxwich. WS3 3UL.
