To celebrate the memory of former club coach, Ed Parlour, Blackpool RUFC will host a special memorial day on the 18th November 2017.

November will mark the first year anniversary of Ed's sad passing and to remember him in the way he should be, we will be hosting a special memorial day/night at his beloved Blackpool Rugby Club.

Ed served the club for nearly 14 years in a variety of roles from assistant coach, right through to club secretary, and of course he is still represented today by his two sons, club captain Chris and Richard Parlour.

As part of proceedings there will be a friendly fixture between the current Blackpool side vs Fylde Vandals.

Following the game, there will be a special presentation made to Ed's wife, Annette and family, to recognise the decision to award him with a posthumous life membership.

Raffle tickets will also be on sale before, during and after the game and Annette will be asked to draw the winners, with a selection of great prizes available. Tickets prices will be confirmed shortly.

Moving into the evening there will be entertainment from club legend, John Carroll, which is not to be missed, and of course a toast to Ed's memory.

Funds raised from the evening will go towards the Edward Parlour Celebration Fund and to help support the club's future, two causes close to Ed's and his families hearts.

If anybody would like to offer a donation to the prize raffle, you can do so by contacting Chris Parlour at chrisparlour@aol.com or on 07917663309.
