Alfie's Charity Christmas Dinner

On the 21st November 2015, My Brother Graham held his annual charity dinner in aid of Alfie's Journey Fund.

This time, it was Christmas themed and many of the guests dressed in their best Christmas jumpers for the occasion.

After a pea shooting war at dinner, which we think the adults perhaps enjoyed more than the kids,we were all thoroughly entertained by Magician and illusionist Jamie Docherty, followed by music from the amazing band Accrington Stanley.

The fantastic, Ash Turner was our comPeer host for the evening, working up the room with his fun games followed by the auction.

The surprise of the evening came when one generous guest won the bid for our official Alfie Bear mascot and then after paying for it he kindly put the bear back in to be re-auctioned.

It was then purchased again by family friends, raising a total of £370. Wow!

Most importantly, lots of awareness of DIPG was raised through the speeches and awareness video.

Photographer, Paul Bennett was there on the evening on behalf of 'Mark in time Photography.' The photo's were fantastic and such a lovely memento for a memorable evening.

Thank you Paul. If you didn't get a chance to buy your photo's on the night, you can now purchase them directly from Mark in Time Photography's website http://markintimephotography.co.uk/Store/2015-events/black-tie--dinners/alfies-journey-charity-dinner/
