An Evening With Dave Courtney In Aid Of Scummers And Skates
that excellent fund raising group Scummers And Skates are having another charity evening with a special guest speaker.
Dave Courtney is described on wikipedia as a former English Gangster who has turned author and celebrity gangster figure, that is probably a fair assessment of a man who has been involved in as diverse activities as debt collecting, minding, assault, contraband, murder and addressing the Oxford University debating society and these are just the things he is willing to admit to !!!!!
Certainly he is a colourful character and for those who enjoy this sort of thing an Evening With Dave Courtney is something not be missed, to put it bluntly if you don't know who he is then you probably won't want to go, but if you to then you could be in for a treat if you go along to his latest "Evening" all in aid of the Skates & Scummers Charity group.
There will also be a dj and an auction on the night and Dave is doing it free of charge so all the money raised can go the charity itself that aims to help out disadvantaged kids in both Southampton & Portsmouth.
It is this Saturday July 19th at the Old Farmhouse Pub Mount Pleasant Road (By the train gates) in Northam from 7pm and the cost is a measly £10 on the door.
Hopefully this will raise a few bob for this worth cause, but if tales of debauchery in the old East End aren't your cup of tea (or should we say rosie) then why not come to the next event on the Scummers & Skates calendar, a family fun day on Saturday August 2nd.
This is being held at the Anchor Hotel in Redbridge starting at midday it will have all of the following and more
Live music
Bouncy castle
Face painting
Candy floss
BUNGIE JUMP
MAGICIAN
The Anchor is a great old style pub and this is a great opportunity to have a good day out and help the Scummers & Skates to raise a few more pounds for their very worthy causes.

Burnley 1 Swansea City 0 : Timid and listless Swans beaten at the death If anyone’s wants proof that shopping for players on low salaries in the Championship doesn’t pay off then it was evidenced today. Despite a very competent back four and keeper the rest of the team was sour and lacked any punch or awareness in controlling a football. Persistently caught offside or tripping over the ball, giving it away or relying on Myles Peart-Harris and a tired Ronald just wasn’t going to work.

Swansea City : Can Peart-Harris maintain his form ? At twenty two years of age Myles Peart-Harris is one player who came to the Swans on loan from Brentford with an indifferent history as a professional player. He had merely stroked the starting handle of the pro game, the antithesis of success. He was finding it too hard at times to succeed in such a demanding business.
