WOW!!!! the main event has been and gone ! after a year of planning the party day arrived on Saturday and wizzed passed in a blur of excitement ! Everybody looked amazing in their 1960's outfits and I have to say an enormous THANK YOU TO TRUDI,AIMEE BRIAN REBECCA AND JACQUIE FOR DECORATING AND SETTING UP THE HALL !!! I was going to Hook to collect my mum & co and I took a wrong turning and basically got ,myself lost in Old Basing which is hysterical in its self, I got my Bolton mixed up with the Crown pub ! so bless them, and when I turned up they had nearly done it! LOL ..... anyway the rest of the gang got to work, it looked amazing once everything was set up. Ivan turned up with an amazing vintage custom made motorbike and allowed people to sit on it for photographs making a small charge of course and the Meningitis Family turned up for support with Monty their Duck whom the kids loved (me too!) Liam the DJ and Darren the Magician arrived and things started buzzing, soon we were in full party flow and we have raised over £3700 which is an amazing amount of money!!!
