The money raising efforts will be assisted by a raffle with high value prizes, including some exceptional prizes that will be announced on the day. Pro Tape’s ’Butcher’ Bob Matthews will be manning the BBQ again, with all proceeds going to charity. Nick Dimes, one of the event organisers and managing director of PR agency Dimes & Sillitoe (who will be playing for the FX Group) says: "The Great Googly Challenge is now in its fifth year and consistently raises large amounts of cash for Music Therapy, while at the same time ensuring that everyone taking part whether as players or supporters has a great day out. Last year’s total topped the £3,000 mark and this year, with the inclusion of extra teams, we are hoping to push the figure even higher."The Music Therapy Charity, founded in 1969 and presided over for more than 20 years by the late Lord Menuhin, is dedicated to raising money to fund research, which is vital to develop the growing body of knowledge used by the profession. Sir Neville Marriner is the new president. Anyone interested in sponsoring this event or in spectating should contact Nick Dimes on +44 020 8481 1003 for further details.
