Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

16th May 2014

Organised excellently as usual by long serving team member Gill Leigh, our Annual Team Dinner this evening was held at the familiar and very pleasant venue of Dunscar Golf Club.

Proceedings on route for some to this evenings dinner were interrupted by a relatively quickly resolved Call Out (See incident report 51/2014) and none of the team members (And Penny!) who first  diverted to the incident missed their meal, though they arrived a little later than their colleagues and other guests.

Twenty Team Operational members, four of our Support Group members and seven guests attended the excellent meal tonight.

A raffle with quick fire Geoff Seddon in charge of drawing the winning tickets, saw £90.00 raised for team funds.

And prize for the most scruffily dressed attendee went to our illustrious Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE, who arrived straight from the Call Out not even bothering to change out of his team kit!
