AND/OR
2. MARIE CURIE
There are two options for them –
(a) cheque direct to Marie Curie Hospice in Solihull.
Any cheques sent there should be made payable to ‘Marie Curie’ and they can restrict the donations so they can be spent specifically at the Solihull Hospice.
Their address is:
Marie Curie Hospice West Midlands, Marsh Lane, Solihull, Birmingham, B91 2PQ
Write on the reverse of the cheque ‘for Solihull Hospice only’.
Also indicate that the donation qualifies for Gift Aid, if you are a UK taxpayer and ask for a Gift Aid declaration form to be sent to you.

Their national website.
https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/donate
There your donation would also qualify for Gift Aid, again if you are a UK taxpayer BUT it would only go into national funds and not direct nor restricted to the Solihull Hospice that Brenda desires.

Death of Club Member
John Humphrey
It is with great sadness and sorrow that I advise all Members of the death of former player, captain, youth coach, Club Captain, Club stalwart and Vice President, John Humphrey, who died yesterday (Sunday 13th. January 2019).
John – or more affectionally known as ‘Humpty’ or ‘Humpo’ – was, for many decades, the life and soul of the cricket club with his warmth towards people, his friendship, his unmistakable laughter and sense of humour. Many, many people will have fond memories of him. It is a great loss.
The Club’s passes its heartfelt thoughts and condolences to his wife, Brenda, and his two sons Andrew and Stephen, at this most difficult and upsetting time for them.
I shall advise Members, in due course, of further information.
Andy Smith
Hon. Secretary
Kenilworth Cricket Club
