News from North Staffordshire Region

In January we held our annual Dinner/Dance at the North Stafford Hotel in Stoke, this was a fabulous event with 89 people present and around 100 raffle prizes supplied by members The evening was dedicated to the Air Ambulance appeal and in total we raised £640. Many thanks go to all the helpers selling raffle tickets etc but especially to Brian Pye and Carol Ingram without whom the event would probably not take place. A cheque was presented on the night to Sue Hill who gave us an insight into some facts and figures about the Air Ambulance service. The photo shows members of the committee presenting the cheque to Sue.

We had a quiet room at the Bleeding Wolf in Scholar Green in January due to the weather, Raffle prizes were won David Page and Patrick Sutton there are many shows already planned for the year and in February we hold our AGM. We plan to have a Sunday meeting at the Bleeding Wolf again this year on a date yet to be confirmed. It looks like our first show will be on Bank holiday Monday 6th of April at Weston Park. Don’t forget you have to apply for tickets for some of the shows we attend well in advance – in fact the best idea is to join us at the Bleeding Wolf on the 3rd Tuesday of the month for further details.
