A massive thank you to all who turned up for our quiz night last night, a real good turnout with us having to seat some people outside on the patio. Lauren, Rachel and the girls put on a fantastic spread for us which was a very kind gesture, not a scrap of food was left.
Mike Farrell again helped us out a lot with setting up, and the bar staff, Rabbit, Tilly and Craig were all kept very busy, cheers boys. Again thank you to Higham Lane Leisure Association who let us use their excellent facilities for free.
A special thanks to two team members, Norman and Andrew Blount who helped us out by selling nearly 3 books of raffle tickets!!
A total of £522.00 sent us crashing through the 10K barrier to a healthy £10,381.06. As you can see I have wound the thermometer up to 15K (who knows?)

The Police Magazine the Billboard has very kindly included us in issue 13 which can be downloaded as a pdf format from the net. Many thanks to the Editor Brett Tudor for having us in his Mag. I hope that we may just get one or two more donations to bump up our end total from the extra publicity.
. Bring your own food if you wish although we will put some nibbles on the tables.
We would like to thank Jacksons of Arley, in particular Theresa and her daughter for supporting us with some great kit, inc Snugpak sleeping bags with built in mosquito nets, Deet spray, trek towels towels and multi purpose soap(What are they trying to say?) These of course will in due course need to go into the gratuity book at work. Neils band played some years ago for Theresa's mum who is also Scottish, the band was so good it made her cry and to this current date she still treasures the photograph which is displayed in her room at a local nursing home. As a thankyou Neils is going to surprise her by turning up in full dress and palying his pipes for her and the rest of the old folk at the home, I don't think any hearing aids will be needed for this performance.
We are now the proud custodians of a T shirt signed by the last of the Mohicans, how did we manage that you ask, havn't they been away for quite a while now?
