Fundraising Evening

The Latin American Challenge team raised a grand total of £2,783.70 to be split between The Multiple Sclerosis Society and Rainforest Concern...

On Saturday 6 May we hosted an evening of entertainment for 400 people in the Historic Nelson Room of The Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich with the aim of raising money for The Multiple Sclerosis Society and Rainforest Concern.  We achieved this through ticket sales and holding an auction and raffle.

The evening got underway (after a few technical problems with staging!) with Michael Dolovich expertly playing the piano.  Buddy Holly and the Cricketers took everyone back to 50s and 60s rock n roll, and the evening was rounded off with the insurmountable Cedar Tree.  

 

We are extremely grateful to The Cedar Tree and Michael Dolovich, who all gave up their time to perform for the cause.  Thanks to Fred, who did us proud as the Master of Ceremonies.  Thanks to Jannicke Newsham of Julie's Florist who gave up her Saturday to create a magnificent balloon decoration. Thanks to Sue for the flower arrangements.

 

The table below gives details of the auction.
