Oh, What a Night! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

AND WHAT A NIGHT IT WAS.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the fun-filled night on Saturday 22 August to hear from the world-renowned Fencebay Band. Thank you to the Band. As usual they thrilled everyone with their repertoire. Thanks everyone for joining in the fun. And thank you to Fencebay for allowing us to use the barn as a venue. A huge thanks to our volunteers and supporters who made it all happen.

Thanks also to our sponsors including Climie the Butchers in West Kilbride for supplying the burgers. They were superbly cooked by Nicki (see pic) who was ably assisted by Rudi.

Thank you to those who sponsored our raffle prizes with incredibly generous gifts including gift vouchers for:

FINS RESTAURANT

MARION KANE, JEWELLER

AILEEN’S FLOWERS and

SR MOTORS.

We also received donations for the raffle which included:

A BOTTLE OF SINGLE MALT WH**KY

A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH WH**KY

A PRIVATE CASTLE VISIT WITH PROSECCO ON ROOF

A CASTLE GOODY BAG

AND MORE…..

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Of course, this was a fund-raising event for our charity, Friends of Portencross Castle. From the sale of tickets, the raffle, donations and burgers we raised some £2,000.

Once more – thank you.
