Successful Annual Luncheon
HRH The Duchess of Gloucester with our President, Mr Anthony Kilmister
The eleventh Annual Luncheon at The Dorchester on Friday 12 October was held in the presence of our Patron, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Gloucester. Thank you to all of our supporters who joined us and also to those who donated the superb auction items. Amongst these, a week’s stay at a fabulous villa in Tuscany raised over £5,000, as did a jet fighter flight kindly donated by Century Aviation Ltd. We are extremely grateful to those people who so generously bid and to our auctioneer, Nick Bonham. A fun game of Heads and Tails raised over £3,800 and the lucky winner can enjoy dinner for two at The Dorchester. Our guest speaker, the renowned actor Sir Tom Courtenay, was both interesting and entertaining, sending us all away with a smile on our faces. It was a magnificent event and raised over £37,000. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success.
