GLORIA PRICE

The theme of the evening was “Our Children are Our Future”. With numerous re-buys throughout the evening, no-one actually won any money, but everyone was a winner, knowing that they were making a contribution to disadvantaged learners who depend on the Benevolent to further their education.

This highly successful event was run by a dedicated group of Benevolent volunteers led by Leigh Brouze.

More than 100 players enjoyed an evening of fun, great food and even some royal flushes! There was a remarkable atmosphere and positive responses came from the many players.

Cathy-Jo Wein was a most exuberant and excellent programme director.
