Soiree Pour La Vie – 6th March 2010 – Wentworth
On Saturday 6th March, the Lunch4life committee organised a fantastic evening of dinner, dancing and a charity auction at the Wentworth club. The guests were greeted by a piper as they walked the red carpet to the club. During the three course meal everyone was entertained by some brilliant dancers. The auctioneer Nick Bonham started the proceedings by auctioning a Zimbabwean billion dollar note, that is worth nothing, for £500. The other prizes were much more valuable and included a flight in a Spitfire and an all expense paid holiday in Mango Bay, Barbados. After the auction the band and DJ got all the guests on the dance floor!
