‘The CRY for Matthew Ball was held at The Albrighton Hall Hotel in Shrewsbury and 180 guests were thoroughly entertained and drained of all available funds!! A raffle brought in over £1000 for a chance to win a golfing holiday in Spain.
Christina Trevanion of ‘Bargain Hunt’ fame was auctioneer for the evening where we were able to raise over £3,000 thanks to donations of Suit vouchers from Pockets of Shrewsbury and Chill out weekends in Wales. We also had tickets to see Worcester Warriors and signed shirts from Derby County and Crewe Alexandra and the England Rugby Team, thanks to Bill Beaumont.
The total for the evening came to £5,100 and it was so successful that we are doing it all again this year. Tickets are already sold out and the list of auction prizes gifted to us is amazing, with jewellery to the value of £1000, weekend cookery courses with The Vegetarian Society and a Day at a Finishing School to be bid for.’
