FORMER York City star Andy McMillan is organising a dinner to raise funds for the appeal in memory of York schoolboy Oscar Hughes.

Andy, who now manages the club's academy, is staging the three course meal at Sandburn Hall, Flaxton, on Sunday, December 7.

The dinner will be compered by Match of the Day commentator Guy Mowbray, with auctions and raffles held.

Andy said he wanted to put something back into the community by helping the charity being set up by Marie Hughes of Dunnington, the mother of nine-year-old Oscar who died from a brain tumour earlier this year.

The charity will fund research into childhood tumours, with the aim of preventing so many children dying and also developing treatments with less severe side effects.

Tickets for the dinner cost £30 and to book a place or a table for ten or 12 guests, phone Andy on 07720 445928 or email andy.mcmillan@yorkcityfootballclub.co.uk
