The Sportsman's Lunch was held at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel on Friday 16th October 2009. This event was a huge success and was attended by over 300 guests who enjoyed a three course meal, a raffle and an auction. Dennis Taylor was our Speaker for the afternoon and was extremely entertaining. We are pleased to say that despite the current economic climate, we managed to raise just over £20,000 which is a fantastic amount.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Williamsons Solicitors and Nat West for their kind sponsorship.
Thank you also to Stephen Larard as our Auctioneer and Peter Nendick as Master of Ceremonies. Also a special thanks to our volunteers who assisted in the raffle and auction and to all those who kindly donated the Auction Prizes.
Finally thank you to all those attended - we trust you enjoyed the day. Please note in your diary the date for next year's Sportman's Lunch which will take place on Friday 15th October 2010 and are available to take bookings now.
