To Conclude -
Once again 'Very Special Thanks' to Pina and her Team for all their hard work supporting this fund raising event.
We hope and look forward to you all supporting future events.
I also take this opportunity to personally thank Brian my neighbour and Noel for singing and playing their guitars & my family members and close friends for their support.
For a laugh ... Our table WON 5 raffle prizes. !!
Lawrence needs no introduction, he supports his local community 100% and always supports all Charities like myself.
P.S. - Asked by a few why I did not Sing & Play. Sorry I was not
well as only 2 days earlier I had surgery on my Left shoulder.
We will always work together to support Pina & Co & other
fund raising organisations including our Vibrant Ukulele Club.
Love and best wishes to one and all.
Benny & Betty
