Hi all; as Charlton Life members are great supporters of the Charlton Upbeats I thought I'd mention what a great night we had yesterday at The Bickley. About 18 months ago we launched an initiative whereby Terry Pullen at The Bickley set a target for the restaurant/bar to raise the funds needed to buy a mini-bus for the Charlton Upbeats. After last night's successful 'Evening with David and Vanessa Gold' and with the help of a very generous donation of £5k from one person, that target is now in sight and it should be reached at the next event, which is an 'Evening with Chris Powell'.
Hosted by Sky Sports' Dickie Davies, a great friend of the Charlton Athletic Community Trust; David and Vanessa Gold answered questions on their lives in business and, of course, David spoke about his career in football, first as a young player at West Ham, then as owner of Birmingham City and now West Ham United.
Regarding Charlton; David praised the work of the Charlton Athletic Community Trust, he spoke of his friendship with Peter Varney and how close he came to buying Charlton - which was interesting!
It was a great night and as soon as the date for the 'Evening with Chris Powell' is confirmed be sure to book your ticket.
