Aimee Scally, Community Fundraiser for the Wirral/Northwest is overjoyed at the amount of commitment and hard work Peter, Kirk, Paul, and Team have all put into making the evening a success, and knows that the evening could not have been without all there hard work.
"Its amazing to see and work with such dedicated members of the local community who are taking time to involve Macmillan into their lives, raising money to help those affected by cancer in the local area. I cannot say thank you enough times, they have been fabulous fundraiser's and i really look forward to working with them again towards 2009".
Kirk said.
"" We were overwhelmed yet again at the success of the event, and of course our guest speaker Danny Fairbrass was a real highlight. As someone who has first hand experience of the devasting effect cancer not only has on the patient, but the whole of the family. I feel that if by this and future events we can ease the suffering of anyone in our community then its worthwhile. And together with existing and new friends of the angling world we will continue to raise money for Macmillan, it certainly was an evening to remember, we met a true carp angler who gave up his valuable time for our cause, shared stories, got tips and raised money for a charity...what a perfect mix"
