Trina on target for Poppyscotland - The Edinburgh Reporter

Darts queen Trina in Scotland to raise cash

Ten-time world darts champion Trina Gulliver took on all comers as she toured Lady Haig’s Poppy Factory.

Warwickshire-based Trina is in Scotland as part of a six-strong team of professionals taking part in two charity exhibition events to help raise money for Poppyscotland.

On Saturday, Trina joins stars of the oche. Darryl Fitton, Tony O’Shea, Gary Robson, Deta Hedman and former world champion Andy Fordham at an exhibition event in Ardrossan.

Another event is in Bathgate on Sunday in a bid to raise close to £10,000 to help fund Poppyscotland’s life-changing support to the Armed Forces community Scotland.

Gordon Michie, Poppyscotland’s head of fundraising, said: “Last year’s event in Bathgate was brilliant and raised vital funds for the charity.

“So, to have two events in 2017 highlights how much people love their darts and how they are prepared to go the extra mile to support Poppyscotland.”
