A huge thank you to Tina Hiscox who raised £6962 at the last charity lunch, held alongside the Southampton Boat Show at the Grand Café Southampton on 20th September.  The event included games of bingo, superb auction prizes as well as a wonderful lunch. Our thanks also go out to the Grand Café Southampton team (www.grand-cafe.co.uk) for their support and Jenny Slowen the Bingo caller and compere for the day.

Tina is already planning the next event which will be Lunch with Elvis on March 28th 2019 - watch this space for details but in the meantime save the date!
