A number of events have been
held to raise funds for CRY with the highlight being on Saturday 9th
September.
A
total of 88 competitors, all wearing distinctive red CRY baseball caps
and including local MP Stephen Hammond and Roger Taylor MBE (pictured
right), enjoyed a sunny afternoon’s golf.
A
further 30 guests attended a BBQ, raffle draw, auction and “Elvis” concert
in the evening.
Raffle prizes included a Thames riverboat
cruise; Centre Court tickets for the 2007 Wimbledon Tennis Championships;
several rounds of golf; various bottles of wine and whiskey; tickets to Ant
and Dec's 'Saturday Night Take Away' TV show; and a 2006 Ryder Cup shirt
signed by Colin Montgomerie.
Auction prizes included several rounds of golf
at various clubs; 3 bottles of 10-year-old Glenfiddich; a watercolour
painting by John Bennett; a baseball cap signed by Ernie Els; several
bottles of wine; and dinner for two at Gordon Ramsay's Restaurant.
The golf
competition, raffle and auction were generously supported, raising over
£10,000 for CRY.
More
importantly, the awareness of CRY was raised significantly and all the
participants had a lot of fun.
