HOW PEOPLE HELP Birthday bash Octogenarian Peter Stacey tells us about his very memorable birthday ong-term supporter Peter Stacey is L Chairman of Poole Bay Classics; a local family-friendly classic car club which has raised tens of thousands of pounds for our Charity. Their annual motoring ‘Extravaganza’ takes place on Sunday 16 July this year and is an event not to be missed. Peter turned 80 in January. Not content for him to celebrate alone, his family and friends had a little surprise in store. “I hit the big ‘80’ just after the end of the first week of January. My wife Daphne and I went out for lunch that day and left it at that. Two friends invited us out for lunch the following Saturday by way of a small celebration and I left it to them to choose where we should go; I just knew it had to have easy access as one of them is wheelchair bound. “The fact that we went to the sports club where we hold our Classic Car Club monthly meetings did not surprise me as the food is very good there. As we walked through the restaurant my friend invited me to look at the menu and we both agreed that the steak and ale pie looked like a good choice. At that moment, Daphne asked me to look in a side room at some decorations that had been put up. “I opened the door to discover 90 of my closest friends; two of whom I had been at school with when we were 11, one of whom had travelled more than 200 miles to be there. At that moment my six, very grown-up children appeared in front of me with their children and my great grandson, having travelled from all over southern England to be there. The rest I leave to your imagination, but I assure you I had no idea that it was about to happen, it was just fantastic. “When Daphne, (aided by my number two daughter Jen) sent out the invitations, she wrote on the bottom of the form ‘no presents’ (how many paper weights and ball point pens do you need?), however, she did say that donations could be made to Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, my favourite charity. They set up a collection bucket at the side of my birthday cake. When we emptied the bucket the following morning we were totally amazed; it contained £608. A fantastic end to an amazing day – thank you to everyone who joined me on my special day.” Celebrations all round! “On 29 October, we had a large family party to celebrate key birthdays and anniversaries within our family. These were: my mother, Una Amesbury (80th birthday); my husband, Andy (50th birthday); my daughter, Sarah (21st birthday); my mum and dad Una & Randolph (60th wedding anniversary); and Andy’s and my 25th wedding anniversary. All the above events fell within a three-month timeframe, so we decided to hold the party in the middle of them all. Rather than gifts, we decided to ask for donations to Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance as Andy is a farmer and we live in the countryside, so all know the value of the service you offer. In total we raised £1,170 and hope that our contribution has helped.” Best wishes, Mrs Julie Hoskins.
