The Clwyd Clippers (Mold Barbershop Harmony Club) put on 2 charity shows at Theatr Clwyd, Mold, North Wales, to celebrate their 25th anniversary on 14th July. The profits from them were divided between The Contact Club of Mold and The Eye Fund. It was a very successful day and a complete sell-out.
There was a variety of music all day from 2:00pm until 10:30pm.
The Eye Fund stall did very well with lots of sales, and the highlight was a sealed bid auction for a signed copy of Paul McCartney’s DVD “Good evening New York City” which raised £153. The successful bid was a joint venture between the Sherratt brothers—Rod, Graham and Barry.
Thanks to the Sherratt brothers and all who organised the event and made it a very successful day.
The photos are Jean Sherratt and Carol Sherry setting up the stall, and Rod and Graham Sherratt accepting the DVD from Carol Sherry.
This was our first real opportunity to display our goods at a Craft Fair. Held in The Pavilion in Birkenhead Park, it was supposed to be in a big marquee. Guess what? Someone forgot to order it. (D’oh!)
However, some thoughtful person managed to buy some gazebos and (nearly) everything worked out OK.
The weather was good and we managed to take about £200.
Carol and Paul rocked in the car park of the Mersey Clipper pub along with members and volunteers of Wirral Society of the Blind and Partially Sighted.
As well as selling stuff the public who came in were serenaded by some very loud but good bands.
Insanity Beach were the headlining band. Also excellent was a Bob Marley sound and look alike guy called Trevor Gleason.
The day stayed dry for the most part and the charity benefitted to the tune of £150.
When: Wednesday, 11th March.
Where: The Pavilion Gallery, Birkenhead Park, Wirral.
Featuring: Grand Opening Ceremony by Wirral’s Cultural Ambassador Mike McCartney, opening to the public on 12th March until Saturday, 21st March.
Update: This was a very successful exhibition. The intention was to raise the profile of the charity, but in the meantime we took over £1000. Not bad!

Where: The RAFA Club, Formby, Victoria Road, Formby, L37 1LG.
Featuring: Doors open at 7.00pm and the fun starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost just £5.00 and that includes a hot-pot supper. (Not bad, eh?) Teams from 2 to 6. There will be many cash prizes and a raffle. Remember, this is for CHARITY!
Update: Again another successful night’s entertainment. Well done! Sandra for all your hard work.
When: Friday, 20th March
Where: The Capitol Restaurant, Birkenhead.
Featuring: Tickets costing £30 will be on advanced sale soon. A full Chinese banquet is included in the price along with entertainment. Keep looking! By popular demand we have to have another Charity night at The Capitol. The last one was a sell-out and a great success, and we have been asked to hold another one.
Update: Not as well supported as last year but we all had a tremendous evening with Andy as a compere and Simon the magician. Thank you Steve Tam for lending us your rerstaurant. A very good profitable night.
