Barmen at the Last Bash

Saturday 19th March was my last fund-raiser! Judy who has superb organisational skills, and an excellent network, invited the majority of the guests and co-ordinated her army of support! Most of the food was prepared and donated by friends and family, as a result we had the most amazing feast with plenty for all (and some for Sunday lunch and supper the next day! It’s always a bonus, not having to cook when you are rather tired and a tad hung over!)

It was a very social evening with around 70 guests – family and friends, so it was just an excuse for a knees up! The disco played a great selection of music and kept the dance floor full. There was plenty of 80’s music for us middle aged peeps!

I tore my left calf muscle at the last two dancing events in November and January, so I was under strict instructions just to do some quiet shuffling! I managed slightly more elegant dancing than a shuffle, but my eldest sister Doctor Nicki, gave me frequent reminders to prevent anything too energetic!

There was no hard sell raffle or auction at this event (been there, done that – back in November with the Black Tie Auction!) It was a low key fundraiser with money being made on the tickets and the bar. We made an amazing £1200 through this event! This will be split 50:50 between Arctic-Mummy and The Jamie G Sporting Trust; I have now raised just under £8000.00 for the Trust through fund-raising events, and very generous donations. People’s generosity in these tough economic times is amazing.

Lots of people helped make this event a huge success, but it would never have happened with out Judy! A big THANK YOU to everyone, and a special Thank You to Judy! I know we have discussed this many times before …. but you could have a fabulous career in event management!

There are more great pictures in the Gallery!

Only six more sleeps until I leave … Still so much to do!
