Sunday 28th February.
What a success and fun day it was!! Carousel Theatre Company entertained some 90 guests with their show "The Best of British" The audience were taken you back to important events in England in the 1940s and 50's. From The Festival of Britain, the advent of Television to the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth. They were also joined by Cliff Richard on his summer holiday, Muffin the Mule and the crazy Goons. We were also joined by Tommy Steele, Arthur Askey and Anthony Newley on the journey through the past.
Other fund raising efforts on the day included the ever popular cake stall, Fair Trade fancy goods, a beautiful flower stall and a hand made card stall. Proceeds from the Sunday lunches served in the Cafe were also donated to the cause.
We held a large raffle with prizes kindly donated by clients, carers, staff and members of the public. The prize for the free draw, a voucher for £20 to be spent at Bo Kays Florists was won by Chris Cuthill.
The event raised £430 in all - so a BIG THANK YOU to all those who attended, donated prizes or helped in any way.
The Carousel Theatre Company came back to the club on 2nd March to give a sneak preview of thier next show "The Not so Old Time Music Hall" which is due to start touring the area 15th March. Around 15 guests were treated to their second trip down memory of the week!!
A further unexpected £11.00 was donated on the day!
