On the 21st August the AARMS group hosted a charity Spiritual/Medium night. Medium John Pattinson along with his guest mediums, Linda and Andi, gave some fantastic spiritual evidence to several members of the audience.

Although they had given their time free of charge we felt that they deserved something in return for providing us with such a lovely night and we presented John with a small donation for Diabetes UK which is a charity close to his heart.

We also had some fabulous prizes donated to us for our raffle and tombola stalls and this enables us to raise a substantial amount of money which will help us keep the group going.

We would like to thank the following people for their help in making the night such a huge success: The Phoenix Club, John Pattinson, Linda and Andi, Gladys Brown, The Rotary Club of Newton Aycliffe, Geoff Bachelor, Newton Press, Newton News, Saffron at Love Thy Cupcake, Aycliffe Framers, Tesco, Geoff and Viv, Alison Firby.

Special thanks to Terry, Christine, Helen and Laura for running the tombola stalls and selling raffle tickets. As the night was so successful John has offered to do another fundraiser for us next year, so watch this space!
