On 17th November 2006, a sponsored ALL NIGHT VIGIL took place in haunted Chillingham Castle, near Alnwick, Northumberland when seven brave folks sat through the wee small hours from 11pm to 3am. Over £500 was raised for the charity from this event and we would like to thank those intrepid souls who took part and all those who were so generous in their sponsorship.
The Fashion Show at the Hilton, Gateshead was a resounding success with more than £13,000 being raised. Guests ate, drank, spent lots of money and the band played on.
Colin Briggs was compere and auctioneer for the evening and had a fine time with the ladies!
Jonathon Ross’s suit was a big hit and sold for a fantastic £1,500.
We had fashion for all ages
and something just for the ladies!
Even Peter Pan and Little Witchie flew in for the evening.
Oh dear - the surprise wasn’t quite what he expected!
