Back on the bike....at last!

Clocks have moved forward, spring is here, the sun has been shining and at last....I am back on the bike. It has took six weeks for my back to recover well enough for me to ride again. I have been to work everday this week on the bike and I am not feeling any after affects, so fingers crossed I can get back into a training programme.

Preperation for the fund raising night is going well. I have started writing to local businesses to see if I can get donations for the quizes and raffles. If....when I get some feedback, I will definately be singing their praises on the blog if they have donated, so look out for news of the genourous ones!
IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO DONATE A PRIZE? PLEASE GET IN TOUCH IF YOU DO!
I have only got 40 tickets left for the night so if anyone wants to go, get in touch with sooner than later!

Prizes required for the fund raising night!


Booked DJ Fearny to do the disco so everything is now in place, tickets are now on sale!
If there are any budding entertainers out there who would like to do their stuff then get in touch, might be able to fit you into the line up.
I will be running a raffle to try and boost the fund raising so if you have anything to donate as a prize it would be much appreciated. If you are a business and you would like some free advertising then just give me your details and I will make sure it gets posted on the blog.
If you can think of any other fund raising opportunities for the night, please let me know.
Can I thank our friends Sam and Gail who have kindly started the ball rolling by donating a couple of raffle prizes....much appreciated.

Fund Raising Night....Sat 28thApril 2007


A good nights entertainment and help raise money for John Eastwood Hospice at the same time....does that sound a good idea? Well I am organising a event on Saturday 28th April which will include the live band 'The Score', disco, food and of course there is a bar!
It should be a great night, local band 'The Score' play instantly recognisable covers by groups such as The Jam, Green Day, The Bangles, The Clash, Elvis, Ramones, Buzzcocks and many more, so this should make for a loud and lively night!
The venue is the St Wilfreds church hall in Kirkby (across from the Duke of Wellington) 7pm until 11:30pm.
The venue and band are booked, just need to sort out a disco which I will hopefully do this weekend. So hopefully next week I will be able to work out the cost of the tickets and start selling.
The room holds 120 which I am sure we can fill....please get in touch if you are interested!
