They have set up a justgiving page and will be accepting donations on the day and all the money raised will go towards Pendleside Hospice. Cup cakes, made by Sinead Howard, will also be on sale.

Ray said: “Gordon loved playing darts and he enjoyed being part of the team, the company of the lads and all the banter.

“We wanted to do something positive to honour his memory and his family were in support of this.”
