“Big Breakfast Morning” In Redditch
Who says we don’t do fund raising in 41 Club? Well, Redditch 41 Club – “The Round Table for 45 Year Olds” – certainly do.
The “Big Breakfast” on Saturday 9th September at Webheath Village Hall in aid of the Primrose Hospice.
The concept was really simple:
- Cook a “full English” breakfast in a village hall
- Charge £10 per person
- Advertise and get a load of people to turn up so the atmosphere in the village hall is buzzing
- Raise money for a local, deserving charity
Oh…… and make is such a great event that people will remember it for along time; will know it’s been put on for the benefit of the local community by the Round Table Family and, who knows, it might generate new members!!
So, did it work?
Regional Councillor Andy Waring and his fiancé Jane from Hinckley Ladies Circle went along, and Andy says “when myself and Jane arrived we were taken back by the amount of people there, the place was full and we were queuing outside to get in.
It was a wonderful display of what can be done if all the clubs work together, 41 Club, Round Table, Tangent and Ladies Circle were all there.
An exhausted, but very satisfied, Lee Bevan from Redditch 41 Club announced the final scores on the doors.
“We served 172 breakfasts and raised £1,800 for Primrose Hospice, and what a team effort from the four clubs it was”.
And let’s not forget, one of the Purposes and Objects of 41 Club is “to encourage active involvement in the Community”.
