In Memory of Ben Harrington 21st September 2012

[qblockpete]

I have spoke to Luke (Ben's Brother) and family, we have agreed to share a fundraiser for the family.

I had originally had booked a big function catering for up to 350 people charity event for Great Ormond Street Hospital on the 21st September. We have now agreed to incorporate the both and any tickets bought for Ben will go directly to his family to help at this awful time.

Ben would want us to celebrate his life and this will be a good opportunity to do so.

Low Country bar
4 Fulham Street
8pm-1am

21st September.

Tickets will be available week leading up to the Chelsea game or on the day of the Chelsea Game.

There was a minute's applause for him on the LSA coach coming back last night from Manchester with everyone singing his name.

Moving stuff for a top bloke.

i am in shock and very saddened to hear that Ben has so sadly passed away.Met him a few years ago and enjoyed his company and football banter when i saw him.The man was full of life,loved QPR and was very knowledgeable about football.He was a true QPR supporter...Rest in peace Ben.

Thanks Pete.

Still really shocked by this news. Its not like myself and Ben were long time mates either, we got to know each other through WATRB and said hello and had a quick chat when we bumped into each other at QPR games. Came across as a really geniune fella and im gutted the poor guy is gone. Its a cruel cruel world.

i have put details on lsa mb..how much are tickets pete and is there a donation faciltity ( i have been asked). still hard to "grip" the news.

[qblockpete]

The tickets are £10. I did think of setting up dontation page but it seems to associate itself with things like cancer etc. If anyone can set up independently that would be a great idea, then provide a link??

pete can you pm me an address i can send on the money for two tickets. obviously did'nt know the chap as well as a lot on here-yourself included but having met him and speaking to him for a few years on here i think its the least i can do. won't be able to go to the night but i'm sure the tickets can be sold to someone who can. cheers-bush.
