Casino Dinner Dance
On Saturday 29 November we held our Casino
Dinner Dance at the National Space Centre in Leicester.
Ken Hart, our Branch President said, “The
evening went off great with everyone enjoying the dinner and
dancing. The casino royal tables were a great draw and
everyone was given several thousands in fun money to try to win or
loose. Dave Saunders was the one who accumulated the most and
won the prize. We will be putting this event on again on
29th November 2009, so put this date in your diary now
because you do not want to miss the social event of the year!”
£170 was raised for the Air Ambulance during the
evening and a cheque for £1,500 was presented to Rainbows
Hospice.
