Friday 13th turned out to be an auspicious date for our first "band night". It was a great success, with 120 supporters and revellers turning out to listen and dance to the music of the Lost Mojos. It all happened at the Turk's Head, Twickenham.
Aside from the music, there was a raffle - with first prize of a £500 voucher for Margaret Howell clothing - and an auction of promises. This included a night at the theatre for two to see a dramatisation of James Herriot's country vet book All Creatures Great & Small, plus an opportunity to meet the cast. Thanks to actor and TV presenter Mark Curry for this donation, and all the other businesses and individuals who donated prizes.

But top prize was a framed art work of Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, signed by former captain Thierry Henry and manager Arsene Wenger. That single item, provided by our new Chairman David White, went for £150.
The night as a whole raised £2,270, which organiser Trustee Helen Putland's employer Microsoft will match pound-for-pound. So thanks to the Lost Mojos - Chris, John, Ian, Robert, Paul and singer Shelle - for making it such a great night, to all of you who came and also those who helped on the night. We can't wait for the next one!
