15th September 2006

Another great night was had by all at the 2006 Grand Charity event held at the Chilton Lodge Hotel, Tyne and Wear.

Raffles, music, food, a disco and guest speakers made sure that the event was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Kevan Jones MP, Chairman of the CRY All Party Parliamentary Group; Jack Doyle, CRY County Rep; and Jeff Morland, all gave accounts of the work that CRY has been undertaking over the previous year, and the fundraising efforts that the family and friends of Levon Morland had been involved in.

Thanks to these fundraising efforts, Jeff Morland was able to present Jack and Kevan with a £10,000 cheque for CRY (left).

With ticket sales for the event, raffle revenue, and sponsorship, the charity evening raised a further £5371.54 for CRY.

Jeff said, “We have been successful in raising quite a bit of money for CRY and we simply could not have done this without the help of so many friends and supporters.”

A special thanks was given to Jack Doyle and Kevan Jones for their ongoing stalwart work; and to the sponsors of the event, Roseberry Inns and Leisure (owners of the Chilton Lodge), Browell Smith and Co. Solicitors, Thompson Solicitors, Rowley Ashworth Solicitors, and Northumbrian Water Ltd.
