Newbury Rugby Club and was a roaring success! Over 130 people attended the event, which was featuring cover band Project Three Sixty. The auction was a hit and led to a lot of people parting with some serious cash! Great stuff!
The event was also attended by Barry’s parents and brother as well as representatives from the Newbury Cancer Care Trust and the Charles Clore Unit. ‘We had a great time! Thanks to everyone involved it was a wonderful event!’ said Maria Heron from Charles Clore.
The night managed to raise just over £7,500, a fantastic start to the fundraising…..but still a long way to go yet!!
Thanks to all who made this event possible, including Heather, Shelley, Tanya, Angie and Debi.
The highlights from the ball are now available on Youtube.com

Operation What?
As the bright eyed among you may have noticed, we are now working under Operation £25K (O25K) Yes, this is al very confusing –but it is necesary. Due to various discusions with trustees of the two cancer units that we are fund raising for (Charles Clore and Cancer Care Trust) it has been decided that the funds raised would be of a far greater benefit if they were used towards equipment used in the units.
This would have much more an impact and we would realy be able to make a diference. So what has changed: the name, logo, and of course we are now not going to buy a minibus! So all that remains is that we are stil striving for £25,000 –it is still a MASSIVE chalenge, but together this is totaly achievable. As a group we can make such a diference for curent and future patients in Newbury and make the community aware of the work that the units .
