Altrincham vs Barwell - Dementia Awareness Fixture
« on: April 08, 2018, 04:23:05 PM »

General Information
Altrincham FC are hosting Barwell in the Evostik Premier Division on Saturday 14th April - 3.00pm kick off, with bar and catering facilities open from 1.00pm in the Altrincham FC Community Sports Hall.

Altrincham FC currently sit top of the table and are pushing for promotion. This is the penultimate Saturday home fixture of the season at the J.Davidson Stadium, so we encouraging as many fans to attend as possible.

This match is a designated Dementia Awareness fixture, as Altrincham FC Community Sports Lancashire Cricket Club and Sporting Memories Network will be promoting the work they do in Trafford. Altrincham FC Community Sports regularly promote discount tickets to families and school children. For this fixture, we are encouraging children to attend with their grandparents, with the focus of the day being on sporting memories and encouraging older people to attend local sessions.

Sporting Memories
Unlock the power of sporting reminiscence to unite generations and to help tackle dementia, depression and loneliness. Sessions run throughout Trafford on a monthly basis. The Sporting Memories Foundation memory games are designed to create an opportunity for fans to recall their favourite moments from football – to help spark that memory. Whether that is of a favourite moment, player, or team, Sporting Memories want to highlight the importance of a footballing memory. The work the charity does is designed to embrace those memories and it uses sport to support people living with depression, dementia and loneliness.

By working with the clubs to create an awareness of this work on match days, Sporting Memories  wants to speak to football fans round the country if they have a family member, friend, or colleague who may want to get involved in some of the work Sporting Memories is involved in. Fans can check out some of the exciting projects and #jointhesquad by visiting www.sportingmemoriesnetwork.com

Is it just me being thick or is it not £2 entrance for U16s anyway so why would they pay £3 extra?
A fantastic cause by the way as dementia is something that is very common indeed and doesn't get the awareness it merits.

I read it as a fiver for the under 16 and the grandparent as a joint ticket, instead of individually paying.

Yes, joint ticket, apologies if that is not clear. The event page has more information and is more clear.

Ticket sales go towards the club as usual in case anyone is wondering, so the more we can share, the better.

Man United are away the day after, so could be a big turnout again.

Like I said earlier,fantastic work raising awareness of dementia as this can strike people as early as their 30's which is very scary!
