Beckham & Giggs support the fight

BIG NAMES BACK RAP’S AUCTION NIGHTThe biggest names in UK sport are now right behind RAP, on a football autographed by Manchester United’s top players including David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and the rest. The football – a prized icon for any sports fan – is the latest in a growing list of tasty items still flowing in from generous donors anxious to support RAP’s cause. And that’s not the end of the Man United connection, because another and separate auction item is the use of a box at United’s ground.
Said RAP’s auction organiser George Yarwood: “It’s almost an embarrassment of riches! We’ve got the catalogue published, and everything ready and yet the offers of auction items are still flowing in, so there’s going to be plenty of excitement on the night with offers we haven’t even seen right now. It’s just amazing how kind people have been and how ready they are to help us.”
RAP Chairman John Halstead added: “It’s just one more sign that the whole community wants the gas plant dead and buried, and nobody’s believed a word of Scottish Power’s propaganda.”
Meanwhile tickets are selling fast for the auction night Friday October 18th at Goostrey Village Hall, doors open at 7.15, admission £5 which includes cheese and wine. To book in advance phone any of the following numbers
