In December Clare ‘Bear’ Mcpherson sadly lost her battle with breast cancer, her family lost an amazing mother, daughter and sister and Max Appeal lost one of its most popular members, Clare was an amazing lady who was always to be found at the centre of any fun, she made many friends at Max Appeal both in person and online and it was through our online events that we discovered Clare was a quiz master, throughout Covid and subsequently after she attended virtually all of our Zoom quizzes, winning most whilst having fun singing and dancing along to the music.

We were grateful that even during her darkest days Clare was able to find comfort in joining us for our Xmas quiz, she won it of course and now it is time for Max Appeal to honour Clare with a special quiz night on Sunday Feb 25th at 7pm in memory of our beloved friend.
