NORTHWICH RUFC have appealed to past and present members to support their holiday functions to help raise funds for the family of John Blower, who was paralysed during a game 10 days ago.

Chairman Sam Naylor believes Northwich can be of help to the Blower family in the short term and wants as many people connected with the club to attend Saturday's Chairman's Day at Moss Farm (1.30pm) and their fundraisers - a Christmas party at Hartford BL on December 27 and the New Year's Eve celebrations at Moss Farm. Full details on 01606 871547.

An official RFU inquiry into the accident, as the scrum was about to engage during a game at Warrington, will be held.
