With over a 100 guests in attendance it made the evening very profitable for the Meningitis Research foundation. Harrogate Florists kindly donated flowers for all of the tables; many local businesses also donated items which were raffled at the event this raising £800 plus. Yorkshire Events Photography attended the event and plans to donate a percentage of their sales to the Meningitis Research Foundation as well, I anticipate my fundraising for the year expected to exceed £1500. The date is already set for the next event on January 31, 2009 at the Cairn hotel, Harrogate. For details contact Colleen on 0113 2843422 or jim_colleen@btinternet.com.
