The Upton JFC Open Age Committee is hosting a fundraising Gala Dinner on Friday 4th July 2025 at The Chester Racecourse and we would love you to join us.
This invitation is not just open to Club members, coaches and players, but also family members and work colleagues. This will be a great opportunity for everyone in the Club to socialise, have lots of fun, and generate some much-needed funds for the Open Age Group.
Our host and compere for the evening is freelance football commentator and presenter Nigel Adderley. Nigel has worked at Talksport, BBC Radio 5 Live, Worldfeed, and BBC MOTD, and it will be an absolute pleasure to welcome Nigel back home as he originally hails from Upton.
Our guest of honour for the evening is Kevin Ratcliffe; ex Welsh International, Kevin played for Everton and Chester City before becoming Chester City Manager. Nigel will be hosting a Q&A with Kevin, talking through his illustrious playing career and his eventful period managing Chester City.
After dinner, Nigel will host our Auction, to date we have some fantastic items; a signed and framed Pep Guardiola Man City 2023 Treble winners’ shirt, a signed and framed Bruno Fernandes Man United shirt, and a signed and framed Marc Guehi England shirt. After the auction and raffle have been completed, we have secured the services of Pulp Disco resident DJ Jae Holmes, who will provide the musical entertainment for the evening.
Tickets for the Gala Dinner, which includes a 3 course meal, are £60 per person; we hope to sell tables of 10 guests but individual or smaller groups are very welcome and you will be allocated a table to make up a table of 10.
