19 Aug 2008 - Worth Valley presented with £602 by Wilsden Squash Club
Worth Valley YFC this week gratefully received a check for £602 from former Club Chairman Dick Wood. Worth Valley was one of three local good causes to benefit following the successful Summer night Sensation event run at a Cross Roads Farm on 9th August.
The idea for the event came from Wilsden Squash Club member and local farmer Richard Wood. Over 300 people including many worth Valley members attended the event and enjoyed the evening largely due to soul act Reece and Seona who entertained the crowd all evening. They were joined by are soul legend Adam 'Steve' Brunskill who made it a trio during a medally of Lionell Richie songs. The event made proceeds of £1806 which was split equally between the squash club, Manorlands hospice and Worth Valley Young Farmers Club who helped with ticket sales and the running of the bar.
Richard said “We at the squash club are delighted that everyone had a great time and that so much money was raised. I was a member of Young Farmers and know what a great organisation it is for young people and everyone knows what a great service Manorlands provides our community. I’d like to thank everyone who supported the event.”
Laura Moore gave thanks to Dick on receiving the cheque and Holly Ogden sent a letter of thanks from the Club.
