After driving through the beautiful Kent countryside, we arrived at our destination the Little Silver Hotel in Tenterden. A delightful friendly country hotel.

The evening started with a Champagne Reception? where we were able to buy Raffle Tickets, make bids for the Silent Auction and enjoy a glass of Champagne.

We sat down to a wonderful 4 course meal which was enjoyed by everyone.? Well done to the kitchen at Little Silver.

During the meal there was a Heads and Tails Competition for everyone who had made a ?5 donation.? Everyone?stood and?had to select whether they were head or tails.??A coin was tossed and the losers sat down.? This went on until only one person was left who won a special prize.

There was also a raffle for the splendid table decorations.

After the meal there was an Auction?with a great selection of prizes there was much amusement as husband competed with wife and mother with son.? Prizes included a Curved Screen TV, Balloon Rides, Exotic Car Weekends and?hotel stays.

We then had a quick raffle draw for a wheelbarrow of drink,?difficult to get home perhaps, but no doubt a delight to drink.

The formalities ended with a presentation of a Certificate from our Patron The Princess Royal, to Peta Ashby.

The evening ended with a disco which went on until 1 pm, in all a wonderful evening made more splendid by the raising of over ?9322.47 for MND in East Kent.

Thanks to the organising Committee Kirstie Meredith, Peta Ashby, Christine and Oliver Johnston. Thanks also to?everyone who attended for their fantastic friendship and generosity.
