The Chris Turner Statue Fund launch night for local businesses takes place at the ABAX Stadium on Thursday 19th November.
A group of long term Posh fans got together immediately after the passing of Chris Turner to discuss the possibility of commemorating the great man in such a way that fellow Posh and football fans in general could pay their respects.The most visually impressive way it was quickly agreed would be a life-size statue and so the massive project began to raise the funds to finance the tribute.
Local businesses are invited to a launch night on Thursday 19th November (7pm) in the Caroline Hand Executive Suite at the ABAX Stadium - if you are a local business and would like to get involved please email info@thechristurnerstatue.co.uk.
The official launch night for supporters will take place at the Caroline Hand Executive Suite at the ABAX Stadium on Friday 20th November from 7pm.
Both nights will include a special tribute DVD to Chris Turner with former team-mates and colleagues of the great man set to be present.
Admission for the fans launch night will cost £3 with all money raised going direct to the fund. The bar will also be open on the evening. Tickets can be pre-purchased at www.theposhtickets.com or from the Posh Ticket Office in person.
