POST CEILIDH NEWS

Well, after a lot of work/stress etc. the Ceilidh took place on Saturday and was a success.  The Cock and Bull Band with their caller, Sarah, were great and got everyone moving and shaking!!
We raised £408 more or less and I couldn't have done it without:-
All my great helpers (in alphabetical order)-

• Ann who is a force of nature and made sure everyone spent as much as possible on raffle tickets!
• Carol and Steve who babysat the dog and loaned bits and bobs to help out
• Chris who gave lots of advice beforehand but sadly couldn't come due to ill health
• Fay for all her advice and help and giving me the idea in the first place
• Gerry, my sister, who came all the way from Basingstoke to help set up and cook on the BBQ
• Penny (and Wayne who collected the onions I'd left at home!) who ran the bar despite feeling poorly and having very little voice
• Rosie for co-cooking the BBQ with Gerry and giving lots of useful advice beforehand

And also of course, sponsors (not in alphabetical order just to keep it interesting!):-

• Kafila Cuisine for their superb (so I'm told as I didn't get to them at the speed of sound which would have been the only way) starters and raffle prizes
• Lesley of Blessed with Beauty for her raffle prize (which she nearly won, but that's another story!) and for bringing lots of high alcohol consuming friends, so ensuring the bar made a profit!
• Dri-Eaz Products (my patient employers) for a generous raffle prize
• Cath and Dave Atkinson for raffle prize
• Elaine at Green and Brown for a great raffle prize
• Ditto, the Wavendon Golf Centre/Grange Hotels/The Really Useful Company/Frost Garden Centre

I'm now only £200 short of my target so I can relax a bit and get on with training..........
