Causes close to the heart of much-loved Jack Mitchell are set to benefit from an all star rugby game.
This year’s Jack Mitchell Memorial Trophy will see Painswick All Stars take on Jack’s former friends and colleagues from 32nd Regiment Royal Artillery at 3pm on Saturday, April 28.
Their game will follow Painswick Under 13s battling Biggleswade counterparts at 10.30am, and Painswick RFC XV versus Cainscross at 1.30pm.
Throughout the day there will also be bouncy castles, face painting, a BBQ, a prize draw raffle, ice cream, candy floss and even a petting zoo.
A karaoke and disco in the evening will close off the club family day.
Jack, 24, who died in February last year, served in Kenya as a signaller for the British Army and funds raised from the memorial day will go to PRFC and two Kenyan charities.
These are the Nanyuki Children’s Charitable Trust, which gives money to deprived children in Kenya, and the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, which runs an animal orphanage in the country.
