FRIENDS OF PICU CHARITY DINNER
The Friends of PICU held their inaugural charity ball at the Botliegh Grange Hotel on the 19th of July. The evening was a great success the diners were treated to a classical harpist whilst they dined and then sang and danced the night away with Andy McKellar’s rock and roll performance. A raffle and an auction were also held including items such as signed football and cricket shirt and TV memorabilia donated by our patrons Sarah Parish and James Murray. Everyone had a great time and over £1100 was raised. This money will be used to help buy a Sonisite machine which detects blood vessels for cannula insertion for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at Southampton General Hospital.

TV ACTRESS'S BIG DAY
13th December 2007, Western Gazette.
Family and friends are due to attend the wedding of Yeovil-born actress Sarah Parish this Saturday(15th). Miss Parish, aged 39, will be marrying fellow actor James Murray at a church(St.James)near their family home in Lower Wield, Hampshire, before hosting a reception in their garden.
She is best known for her role as Allie in the ITV series Cutting It, and the couple met on the set when Mr Murray starred in the final series.
Since then, the Preston Community School and Yeovil College student has appeared in many one-off dramas, programmes and films including Dr Who and The Holiday.
Celebrity guests will include Dr Who actor David Tennant and best friend Amanda Holden, but her mother and father Thelma and Bill Parish of Thorne Lane, Yeovil, say she has not let fame take over.
Mrs Parish said: "I am looking forward to the big day and am proud of her, as I am of all my children. She isn't at all like a celebrity, she is just Sarah and very normal. She has been very busy and done all of the organising herself."
Miss Parish has not lived in Yeovil for around 20 years, but regularly visits the town in her capacity as Headway patron and attended the group's Christmas bazaar.

On The Radar: James is left really cut-up
Sunday Mirror, Jul 10, 2005 by SUZANNE KERINS
CUTTING It hunk James Murray has split from sexy Spanish princess Tamara Czartoryski-Borbon. I'm told Murray, 30, and Tamara - star of Channel 4 reality show The Games - decided to go their separate ways because they hardly saw each other. My spy tells me: "They're both gutted about it."
