The previous show in aid of The Alzheimer's Society raised an amazing £1,200 on the night. It was hard work as we chose a venue that did not have a client base to start with - so we had to go from scratch, selling tickets, visiting local venues to ask for donations of raffle prizes (some were most generous) and putting up posters in the baking August heat (yes, we did have some last year!) but it was so worth it when we had to start bringing in chairs and tables from anywhere we could find them as we were sold out!
We had 36 raffle prizes ranging from a local haircut to a week's holiday, and a great time was had by all.
Thanks to everyone who helped, from the Merseyside Branch of Equity to the staff at the venue, all the artistes who gave their time for free.
