Julie Peasegood asking all the right questions! Roy Winters & Terry Longden talk tactics Magic Magician puzzles Deb!
Carpe Diem Legal were sponsors of the second Brain Game event to be held in Bristol and are thrilled to be able to report that the funds raised on the evening were double that of £30,000 raised in 2007.
The evening was hosted by actress and author, Julie Peasegood, who did a fantastic job of keeping the teams on track, in getting through a frankly quite Einstein list of questions. OK, the CDL team, "We thought it was a disco" didn't do that well overall but of course it is the taking part that counts and we did that whole heartedly!
During the evening we were joined by a Dalek, which sounded very much like Little Britain's Vicky Pollard and Eddie Large, who was just able to see over the podium to raise a few laughs.
The seriousness of what everyone was there for was underlined when a film was shown of a current Marie Curie patient, terminally ill with cancer, who is being home nursed in the South West. The guests responded enthusiastically and generously during the evening's auction and CDL were delighted to see the items we collected fetched a good sum of money. Amongst those items were a case of Estee Lauder beauty products, donated by Beauty Editor, Nadine Baggott, a signed Bristol Rovers football, a signed Bristol Rugby ball and rugby shirt. The football alone raised an impressive £200.
Other auction lots included a tour of the new Cabot Circus shopping development in Bristol, prior to opening and "Manager for the Day" at the Mercure Holland House Hotel.
Rowetta Satchell of X Factor fame was not only one of our team members but our quiz round host, along with Terry Longden of "The Salon". Both Rowetta and Terry were great fun and gave us a lot of laughs during the evening. Rowetta sang a Stevie Wonder number "People" as a finale before guests moved to participate in the casino and other events which rounded of the evening.
We were delighted to be joined by one of our sponsored players from Bristol Rugby, Mariano Sambucetti (Sambu) as well as Bristol lock, Roy Winters,, solicitors Alistair Govier and Clive Weeks of Thring Townsend Lee and Pemberton and Withy King respectively and Nick Wood from our fantastic design team.
We are absolutely thrilled that so much interest and most importantly, nursing hours were secured for the charity and are now looking forward to next year, where we have the expectation of raising even more.
Thank you to Penny, Jon and Ian from Marie Curie, who have been a delight to liaise with throughout and looked after us all on the night.
