TEAMS are being sought to take part in a knock-out night of bowling staged in aid of the Somebody's Daughter memorial fund.

Kingpin in Martlesham is playing host to the charity evening on March 8 with all funds going to The Evening Star's appeal, launched in the wake of the red-light killings.

Already 13 teams have confirmed their attendance but there are still limited places available.

All teams have to do is collect a bucket from the Star offices in Lower Brook Street and do their best to fill it with donations before the night.

The memorial fund, which is being run in conjunction with Ipswich Borough Council, was launched following the killings of Gemma Adams, Tania Nicol, Anneli Alderton, Annette Nicholls and Paula Clennell.

The money raised will be used to help vulnerable young people in Ipswich by creating a refuge for those embroiled in a life of drug addiction and vice.

Kingpin joint owner, Geoff Sheldrake, said: “I have personally been very moved by the whole saga living very close to the scenes in Nacton and on the old A45.

“We are backing Somebody's Daughter all the way and this is the very least we can do.”

To enter your team, contact reporter Josh Warwick on 01473 324840 or e-mail josh.warwick@eveningstar.co.uk.

If you would like to participate but you are unable to organise a team, call Kingpin on 01473 611111 who will allocate a space within a house team.

Donations to the memorial fund can be made online at www.eveningstar.co.uk, in person at Ipswich Borough Council's customer service centre in the Town Hall, by calling 01473 433777, or by sending a cheque, made payable to Somebody's Daughter Memorial Fund, to PO Box 772, Ipswich Borough Council, Grafton House, 15-17 Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 2DE.
