What a great night we all had at Ashville Lodge, home of The Wirral Society of the Blind and Partially Sighted. Although there were only 35 ‘Punters’ (health and safety) we made over £428 between the two charities.
Thanks to all who attended and many thanks to the volunteers who did a remarkable job looking after the visually-impaired.
We had a really good Race Nice with the Commercial Traveler’s Lodge on Saturday 24th September. Between us we raised £800 on the night, giving us £400 each.
Thanks to all who helped to make it a tremendous success.
Let’s do it again!
We had a great race night on Saturday 16th April. It was a joint effort with the Wirral Society of the Blind and Partially Sighted and between us we raised £594.80.
Many thanks to those who took part and many, many thanks to the volunteers who helped. They can’t wait for the next one.
What a great night we had at The Eye Fund Race Night on 21st March.
We took a fabulous £536.50 from the tickets, the raffle and the on screen betting. Everyone enjoyed themselves and there were some great raffle prizes.
Thanks to all the sponsors of the races: Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s, Caernarvon Castle, Festival flowers, The Acorn Pub, and Rod & Jean Sherratt.
Looking forward to the next one already. Thanks again to all who made it a great success.

Now this was a fun night. We had a Race Night at Victoria Hall in Higher Bebington. Everything was going well and we were just about to start when the DVD player failed to play.
Imagine, a race night with no racing.
However, one bright ‘punter’ brought their laptop in and managed to get the night off to a good start.
We had a hot-pot supper laid on; that was delicious. Plenty of donations helped us take over £200 on the raffle. The local shopkeepers were very generous. The betting was quick and heavy before each race.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and we were the overall winners taking £1200 on the night.
Thanks Beryl and everyone who helped.
The latest fund raising venture was a Race Night organised by David. The venue was the Marine Football club in Crosby (where David and Anne-Marie had their evening do for their wedding).
The evening was a great success and a real family happening. Everyone from Phil’s Nan, Paul’s brother from Leicestershire, Jake from Blackburn, and not forgetting Jamie, Ciaran and 2 year-old William. Everyone had a brilliant time and a lovely hot-pot supper (sorry Phil).
After expenses, the amount raised was over £700. Well Done David! (even if he has a few more grey hairs now)
Now! What’s next???
