Brockholme Fundraiser Raises £900
The Management |
One of the charities is providing help to the street children of Sao Paulo the other a local foodbank. The Royal British Legion on Rose Lane provided the venue free of charge and the band also donated their service for free, an issue their manager wholly disagreed with in passing.
The idea for the event was proposed by Mike and Cath Fitzpatrick in the social section of a Brockholme Road book club meeting. Quickly taken up by others the idea was propelled forward and although there were concerns about whether there would be enough people on the night it was a great success.
The band played a number of covers which created a great atmosphere and resulted in some very energetic dancing as the night progressed. The second set was pretty much an hour of continuous dance.c There were a number of great movers and the video is currently up for auction bids to the editor before it goes to YouTube. Great work was done extorting cash from people as soon as they set foot inside the door by Tom and Fin who raised over £200 in ticket sales.
Enormous thanks to all those that attended the night to make it such a success. It is a real success when you can go out and have a good nights entertainment whilst at the same time helping some very vulnerable people both here and in latin america.
