FANTASTIC FUNDRAISING !!!

Sorry i have Been a bad dad and blogged for some time .. the truth is .. i have been canny busy .. work is coming in thick and fast with the oncoming festivities and we`ve all been doing our bit for Cancer Research and The Teenage Cancer Trust ...

Last Thursday and Friday saw a fantastic Variety Show in Claires name at the Royalty Theatre in Sunderland .. Organised by our very close friend Kilvi .. and raising over £1100 for Teenage Cancer Trust . The nights were full of laughter tears and cheers ! with performances from the Royalty Theatre Youth Academy.. Stickmen Productions .. Theatre people and the coquette burlesque collective .. most entertaining indeed ... Worth a fiver of any ones money to see Karl Hicks in a leotard !! Fantabulous !!!

A HUGE THANKYOU TO ALL CONCERNED .. PARTICULARLY GARY AND GILL AT THE GRANBY HOTEL SCARBOROUGH  who donated a weekend break for the raffle .. very kind indeed

SUNDAY .. was our planned walk from Sunderland to South Shields .. originally planned by Claire and Matty as a fundraiser for them to raise funds ... then due to the help of friends and family ended up with 62 participants ....

THE WEATHER WAS DREADFULL WITH 2ft SNOW DRIFTS .. so plans had to be made for an alternative route .. Paul had the idea of walking around the Royalty theatre block several times .. so .. 24laps and 3 hours later .. Cancer Research is £4500. better off !!!

YES .. FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS !. magnificent !!


ALL IN ALL A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND .. LOTS OF HARD WORK FROM LOTS AND LOTS OF BRILLIANT PEOPLE WHO I WILL BE FOREVER IN DEBT TOO x


THANKYOU IS ALL I CAN SAY

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND SOUL >> THANKYOU
