The superlatives could go on - the place was packed. There were people with lists of their raffle ticket numbers, there were people thirsting after an auction bargain, there were people thirsting after a serious drink and there were those who were just enjoying a light hearted evening.

scores of people who were involved. This week, it is enough to say that Graham Mcdonald and Neil Smith who manned the door, Lewis “Woody” Underwood and Darren Rose who ran the auctions and raffle and Kim Fletcher with his hard working staff, who ran the pub, were the public “face” of the committee.
