CHAMPAGNE BREAKFAST IN KENT - 23RD AUGUST

Thank you to the West Kent Fundraising Committee for inviting my mum and I to your Champagne Breakfast.  We really enjoyed ourselves. 

It was great to see some of the Denham Residents and to speak to them about the 'Good old Days' when fundraising was easier and Beer was good for you!

The icing on the cake were  the wonderful cheques I received from you all for the Licenced Trade Charity.  I can assure you that every penny will go to help our beneficiaries.

TIGER TIGER - 13TH JULY 2011

What a fantastic day!!

Hope you had a wonderful time like me at Tiger Tiger!  Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a special fun day.

Thanks to Jeff Booth (dad) and John Andrews for all your hard work making the event go with such a bang.

And the best bit - we raised over £1200 for the Charity.  Can't wait till next year!

Lunch in London with the 50/50 Club

On Monday 4th July Jim Brewster and I were invited to attend the Annual 50/50 Club Lunch in London at Magdelin's Restaurant.

The day started with a trip around Churchill's London, a historic tour of London during the Blitz.  Very informative and enjoyable.

On to the Restaurant where we enjoyed a beautiful meal in pleasant surroundings.  Well done to John Madden who was announced as the next President of the Club.

Many thanks to June Leeming and Joanne McClouchlin for inviting us and thank you for the cheque you presented to me at Hassocks.  This money will be spent on fictional books for the library there.

SOUTHERN FEDERATION AGM - 20TH JUNE 2011

Today I travelled to Gravesend to attend the Southern Federation AGM held at the Battle of Britain Pub.

Jan Stubbs and her committee work tirelessly all year and I was honoured to receive a cheque for £2000.00 from the ladies.

Plans are already in hand for their Annual Rally in Portugal - just remember to let me know the dates!

Take care and once again thank you.  I know fundraising is not easy nowadays but without you where would we be?

RUBY'S 50TH NIGHT IN KENT - 15TH JUNE 2011

What can I say about Frank Thorley that hasn't already been said?

Fantastic, hard working, relentless, generous, wonderful, tireless!

Tonight I sat back and watched a Master at work!  Frank raised over £9000.00 virtually single handed with his skill and sheer audacity.  His friends were very generous as they made bid after bid for a vast array of gifts and memorabilia in the Charity Auction.

Frank was presented with a bottle of limited edition whisky and a signed certificate from our Chief Executive Jim Brewster and Fundraising and Marketing Director Liz Gaffer, as a thank you for all his hard work raising money and awareness for our Charity.

Keep it up Frank - we couldn't do it without you!!

HIGH ROCKS - 6TH JUNE 2011


Here I am pictured with the ladies (and gentlemen) at the Cabaret Lunch at High Rocks.

Good food, good company what more could I ask for?  Not forgetting a cheque for £1000.00!!

Thank you ladies for making mum and I so welcome.

Keep up the good work!
