Sara and Gary along with all our helpers are running our 17th Annual 'Charity Dance' This year it is called Vegas Swings! It is held at Walls' Club, Barnwood, Gloucester, Tickets are selling now and only £8. Fabulous Venue, Cabaret, and DJ's.
In addition we are running our 'Pre-Vegas Afternoon Tea Dance' On Remembrance Day (Nov 10th) 1940's style - Dress to impress. St Barnabas Halls, Gloucester, 4pm till 7.30pm - £6 Entry
Furthermore i am going to get my running shoes on again and with the help of the £2 gb2000 club - run 'The Great North Run' The New York City Marathon' and then complete my 2000 miles target for 2019
I have never run this far in a year - EVER!
All our fundraising goes directly to the charity which is why this year we set up a just giving.
All the expenses involved in running our events and dances are TOTALLY funded by me and Sara.
Vegas Swings rises from the ashes of our much loved and very fabulous 'Swinging Vegas'
We had lot's of great times running Swinging Vegas for 16 years and always raised money for Meningitis Charities and local good causes.
Our running total of funds raised for our chosen good causes & charities raised is: £73,693.48
This year will be our first event where one of the good causes have been nominated and chosen by our dancers.
We sent out a message on our Facebook Page and the nomination which received TWO separate nominations was 'Gloucestershire Young Carers' This, along with our own 'Meningitis Research Foundation' will be our charities for Vegas Swings 2019
This year we will also be having a 'theme' for the evening...
New York, New York.
Get your Thinking (Flat) Caps on!
Why New York New York?
I am strapping on my running shoes again on the 1st of July 2019 and going to try to run around 800 miles again.
At the end of the 800 miles i will be running in the New York City Marathon.
This is all totally self financed and we can promise you that EVERY SINGLE PENNY you give us towards our events and good causes ALWAYS goes directly to our charities.
