Official Programs

Anyone know anywhere in the city which sells the official program? I don’t want to be buying one in the ground and carrying it around all evening.

    I got mine from reachsports on Monday. A bit slow but the price was good.

    Also ordered from Reach a day or two before the final and arrived yesterday. I saw on their twitter feed that they had dispatched all orders on Friday I think.

    Hi Philip,
    If you’d be kind enough to let me have your address, please, I’ll post you a copy of the programme from the England-Denmark semi-final and the final to give to the children, or raffle off to raise funds. The semi-final programme is not now available from Reach, so the pair, together, might raise a few quid for the hospice.
    Kind regards,
    Garford Beck.

    Hi Philip,
    Don’t worry about the postage. I’ll get that sorted tomorrow and will send recorded delivery. I’ll confirm with you when I’ve dispatched the package.

    Cheers Garford,
    I'll have to meet up with you somewhere and at least buy you a pint (and David Lilley and another gazillion members who have helped me out over the last 40 odd years of following England

    Philip & Garford - great work both of you

    In reply to Peter salnicki:

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you for your kind words, but, really, I've done nothing, here. Philip's the one with the connection to the Acorns Children's Hospice and I don't know if he works there, or is a volunteer, or, God forbid, he has a child staying there. I've never knowingly met Philip, but either way, he's the hero here, not me. All I've done is sent him a couple of spare programmes which I hope bring a smile to a football-loving child's face, or, in some small way, raise a bit of cash for the hospice. But, again, thank you for being supportive, Peter, it is appreciated.

    Philip,

    Largish package sent recorded delivery, today, to the hospice, marked for your attention. Grateful if you would confirm safe receipt.

    Thanks,
    Garford.

    Hi Garford,
    As soon as it arrives I will let you know, the volunteers manager has said she is going to auction the programmes once we are allowed to operate under some form of normality.
    Many thanks once again
    Phil

    Nice one, Phil. I’ve also enclosed a few extras for your good self by way of thanking you for all your doing for what I’m assuming are very seriously and/or terminally ill children.

    In reply to Peter salnicki:

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for the kind words, I am a volunteer worker at the hospice, I am retired now after many years as a children's social-worker.
    I work as a volunteer with the NHS and split my working week between Acorns and the NHS so still busy busy.
    Like all charities it has been a very difficult time both from a working practice point of view and also in Acorns case a financial one as well with the charity shops being closed for long periods of time and the many fund raising events having to be cancelled due to Covid.
    Thanks to Garford's generosity the programmes should raise a fair bit when we can actually physically hold an auction.

    There you go, Peter, a real hero. I take my hat off to you, Philip. If there’s anything EnglandFans FC can do to raise awareness, or play a fundraiser, let us know. You’ll see elsewhere on the forum we’re involved in a fundraiser for the Ambulance Staff Charity a week on Sunday. I’ve sent you a few tickets for the game, but don’t worry if you can’t make it.
