CHIPS Presentation at Northampton! 23rd November 2012
 |
Cory Brand who will be 13 on Dec 3rd is pictured receiving his specially adapted C.H.I.P.S. wheelchair that was built using money donated by Beacon Bingo customers.
Cory has Cerebral Palsy which means his increased muscle tone interferes with normal movement patterns. He can move independently on the floor, but needs help standing and walking, he has a walker and leg supports, but it is very tiring for him to try and walk and he can only manage short distances.
This wheelchair will change his life!
Cory loves football - don't most boys whatever their age! - and his favorite team is Chelsea. He also loves trying predict which horse will win at the races. We understand his favorite number is 2, might have to try that out!
Pictured with Cory are His Mum and Dad, Kevin Hamilton (COO Beacon Bingo) and Linda Lindsay ( Head of C.H.I.P.S.).

Score with Northampton Beacon Bingo! 4th October 2012
Cobblers fan first to win (taken from NTFC)
Score with Beacon Bingo is the club's brand new matchday competition that takes place at selected home matches this season.
Three markers are placed on the pitch between the goal and the half way line. The contestant has to get the ball in the goal without it touching the floor or the goal line. If the ball goes in off the woodwork, the goal stands as long as it doesn’t bounce before or on the goal line. The ball must be kicked from a stationary position on the ground level with the selected marker.
Contestants get two chances from the first marker, which is worth £25 if they get the ball in. If they miss both, they walk away with nothing. If they Score with Beacon Bingo they can either keep the money or gamble at taking a kick from the next marker. This marker will be worth £250 and they get one chance. If they score and gamble then they get one chance at the final marker on the halfway line, which is worth £1,000.
The first winner of the competition was Nile Hollowell. Nile said, "I had seen the Cardiff game where Beacon were doing during half time competition. I told my Sunday side about it, and we all attempted it on the local park saying that it would be ever so easy to win the money (not realising that we had to get it in without it bouncing!) Nearly all of us succeeded and a few even said they might start heading down to the games if they were giving money away that easily!!! Then at the Rotherham game I was pulled out of the crowd to have a go so the pressure was on, even more so when I found out it was with no bounce!"
Nile was successful and, winning £250, and he visited Beacon Bingo recently to receive his cheque.
Contestants are picked at random from the crowd to take part. To register your interest please email scorewithbeaconbingo@ntfc.tv supplying a contact mobile phone number for the day and please let us know which stand you will be sitting in. The competition is open to home supporters only and all entrants must be over 18 years of age.
