Friends, teammates and colleagues are coming together this weekend to celebrate the life of Tristan Price, with a special memorial rugby match and family fun day at the Ventnor Rugby Grounds (PO38 1LP) on Sunday 19th April.
Who was Tristan Price?
Tristan, affectionately known as “Beast”, was a valued member of Ventnor RFC and a well-respected door supervisor working for Executive Command.
Known for his strength, loyalty and larger-than-life presence, Tristan recently passed away in a devastating car accident.
Colleagues take to the pitch
In a powerful tribute, Tristan’s colleagues from Executive Command, many of whom are new to rugby, have been training and learning the game in recent weeks.
On Sunday 19th April, they will take to the field to face Tristan’s own team, Ventnor RFC, in a friendly but meaningful match played in his honour.
How to get involved
Executive Command and Ventnor RFC invite the community to come and support this unique event, with kick-off at 2pm and a donation on entry.
There are some fantastic raffle prizes including a boat trip voucher, luxury wine hamper, Richmond’s Bakery gift, £50 Burrs voucher, Slug and Lettuce voucher, and 2 x adult entry to Bingo Bango at Robin Hill (plus much more).
Supporting Tristan’s family
All proceeds will go towards supporting Tristan’s family, with organisers aiming to help the official GoFundMe campaign reach its £20,000 target.
A BBQ, raffle, and bouncy castle will also be part of the day, making it a family-friendly event for all ages.
Please take cash for donations/raffle entry as there is no card reader.
