An 80th birthday dinner celebration with Blackpool legend Jimmy Armfield CBE - Thursday 22nd October 2015
Later in September, one of the greatest servants to the town and football club of Blackpool celebrates a special landmark – his 80th birthday.
We cannot let this wonderful 80th birthday occasion of our friend and Blackpool legend Jimmy Armfield go by without showing him that he is still respected and loved by the town he has served.
There are few people like Jimmy Armfield in the world of football who have commanded respect in so many various role and they don’t celebrate their 80th birthday every day.
As Blackpool fans, we are so proud that Jimmy commands respect around the World and he talks glowingly of his love for the town of Blackpool everywhere he goes.
We have no greater ambassador for the town – possibly ever.
Therefore, there will be a dinner, 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start, on Thursday 22nd October 2015 – the month after Jimmy’s family birthday celebrations. A chance for us to listen to Jimmy’s thoughts and experiences of the town and country he has served all his life and the game he loves - over eight decades. There are few who quite understand the sense of community spirit and serving as Jimmy has - giving all his life at so many different levels.
It will be a three course dinner in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and the event will be as big as the response I get from the town and its people.
Fans of Jimmy, Blackpool and football are invited to what will hopefully be a memorable occasion. Some of Jimmy’s family and footballing friends will be invited as guests, too. Email me if you would like to join the celebration – ticket price is £35 each. Tables of ten will be available. Thanks for all of your early support – 100 places gone already in 48 hours – let’s hope for more.
Kindest regards,
Chris
