Charity Darts Competition Raises £1,446 in Memory of Dave Frearson

ree

On Saturday 2nd August, The Ollerton House hosted the first-ever Dave Frearson Memorial Charity Darts Competition. It was a brilliant one-day event set up to remember Dave, a much-loved friend, a big Stags supporter, and player of the Tuxford Darts League, and with the funds raised to go towards Mansfield Town Community Trust.


The day went great, with laughs, competitive darts, raffles, and plenty of community spirit. So far, an amazing £1,446 had been raised for the Trust. That money raised will go straight into the work we do with young people in Nottinghamshire, using sport, education, and community projects to give them more opportunities. We can’t thank everyone enough for donating, playing, watching, and supporting.


"On behalf of Mansfield Town Community Trust, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in organising the charity darts tournament fundraiser in honour of Dave Frearson. Your dedication and generosity will make a real difference to our work across schools in the Nottinghamshire area, where we focus on improving the lives of young people through sport, education, and community engagement. Fundraisers like this not only celebrate the memory of someone special but also strengthen our ability to deliver meaningful programmes that inspire, support, and empower the next generation. Your efforts will leave a lasting impact on the community, and we are truly grateful for your support." - Macauley Short

After some close games throughout the day, John Heslin came out on top as the first champion of the memorial competition. Yes, this was about darts and fundraising, but more than anything, it was about celebrating Dave. His memory brought so many people together, and it was clear the event meant a lot to everyone there.

The GoFundMe page is still open, so if you couldn’t make it, there’s still time to support.

From all of us at Mansfield Town Community Trust, thank you.
