Jez Jones 1,083 Posted October 21, 2019 MND Assoc. Kidney Research UK UHNM charity.org These three charities will now between them benefit from a massive ****** £ 1115 !!!!! ****** Once again the camaraderie and generosity of the CO72 patrons shone brightly like a 'Torch' on Saturday. It never ceases to amaze me how this event continues to deliver year in year out For many this has become an institution....a chance to rekindle old friendships and make new ones..... to the 'backdrop' of some of the best sounds laid down on vinyl Lets thank 'TEAMCO72' for all their selfless hard work behind the scenes, we were truly blessed...your efforts paid off big style....massive thanks 'guys and gals' !! Also a big shout out to the Cricket Club ..who did a sterling job ..hosting us....CO72 is an unknown entity to many...but they made us ALL feel very welcome.....I think we can say CO72 has found a 'new home' So CO72 2020..game on !!!! I was humbled and indeed proud of what you ALL do..I can honestly say I 'walked amongst giants' on Saturday .. Congratulations and thanks to everyone...you did it AGAIN !! x 3 Link to comment
