  SUMMER BALL A HUGE SUCCESS

On June 12th 2009, the Friends of Alfie Johnson hosted their Summer Ball in aid of Alfie in the Earls Suite, Copthorne Hotel, Merry Hill.

The event sold out and was a fantastic success. The total raised for Alfie exceeded £8000 which will pay for a sensory room to be built at home for him.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the event, and who purchased raffle tickets and made donations to make the event a night to remember.

The Copthorne Hotel did a fantastic job of hosting the event, a big thank you to them. Max Butler entertained our guests on arrival with his fantastic close-up magic and illusions which proved very popular, thank you so much Max. Our compere for the evening, Mr Tracey Spare, did a first class job of hosting the evening and proved very successful at the Auction, one item went for £500, thank very much Tracey. Mr Simon Abbotts, performed as Tom Jones and did not fail to disappoint. His one hour show was hugely popular, especially with the ladies, the dance floor was heaving for the whole time, thank you so much Simon. To finish the evening 'Andeedeejay' laid on a spectacular disco that proved to the perfect end to a perfect evening.

Photographers Graham Dale and Sarah Faulkner captured images throughout the evening, a big thank you to both of them. Images from the event can be purchased on-line, a donation will be very kindly made from picture sales.
