On Saturday 4th May a charity night in aid of the Great North Air Ambulance Service was held at the Phoenix Club, run by Julie and Craig Palmer who spent time collecting raffle prizes from businesses all over the town and business park.
Sue and Paul Land were also a big help selling raffle tickets and putting decorations around the concert hall.
Also a big thank you to our DJ, Lee Firth, who worked all night with the disco and as MC for free. Our Assistant Secretary, Mr Eddy Wood, who sat on the door collecting entrance fees also with no charge.
The total amount collected was a staggering £2000 which is a big thank you to all who attended.
The Great North Air Ambulance Service representative said “We would like to thank everyone who attended and donated to the charity night event at the Phoenix Club. We could not continue this life saving service without help such as yours. Thank you so much”.
