Party with a Purpose – Success
As reported in the last couple of issues of Network the “Party With A Purpose” to raise funds for MAG Stalwart Krissie Willis has taken place and was a great success.
Well, I thought all parties have a purpose, be it meeting old friends, getting drunk or maybe having a boogie (or, more than likely, all three).
However, to be able to do that and get kitted out with a pair of over trousers and winning tickets to the Jesters Rally next year is a real bonus.... oh yes, and raise a bit of cash for Krissie into the bargain.
This was a night organised by the Jesters to help Krissie to raise some cash to cover her stem cell treatment and I must say the treatment seemed to be worth it as she talked a lot clearer, looked much better as was able to stand a couple of times to give people a hug.
The venue is rather odd, the bar not having the greatest selection of drinks available, and the stage being at right angles to the general flow of things.
The band were good, however, their first set of almost all blues was not to everyone’s liking but after a break they played some numbers that got people stomping, either that or it was the chilli, which was very tasty and very, very hot!!
An enjoyable night that raised £562 for Krissie and the message from her was ‘Say a big thank you to all those that supported’.
