Another successful OurJay Bingo night
By Naomi Rees Issitt
It never fails to amaze us, how wonderful all OurJays supporters are!
I panic, worry, fret and have sleepless nights leading up to all OurJays fundraising events, always wondering if people are gonna turn up, will anyone want to come along to a bingo night, what could go wrong, will people enjoy it?! And then this happens…
We were absolutely full! Not a spare seat in the room, everyone smiling, laughing, enjoying themselves. The atmosphere was just amazing!
AN UNBELIEVABLE £2719.00 WAS RAISED!
Which will fund 2 more accessible defibrillators, in memory of Jamie 💙🩵
We’d like to say a big thank you to our sponsors for the evening:
Credence Care Supported Living Rugby
Rugby Distillery
Ellis Brooke Estate Agents
The Blind Company - Rugby
Abbey Motor Services
J’z Built Different
We couldn’t do these special events without our bingo master, Kev Starkey..smashed it again Kev!
We are so grateful also, to our volunteers who came along yesterday and last night to help us make this happen:
Gill and David, from Rugby Saturday Breakfast Rotary Club selling the bingo tickets/black & red game on the night.
Our Billy, who spent the evening selling raffle tickets, merch and sweet treats.
The wonderful bar staff and team at Newbold-On-Avon RFC who kept everything running smoothly for us.
Everyone that helped us clear up at the end of the night.
Everyone who donated such fab raffle prizes.
Everyone who came along to play bingo and contribute towards this vital fundraiser.
But most of all…our Jamie. He puts everything in place. He shines his beautiful light over everything we do and he will always be our absolute hero and inspiration in everything we build. You would’ve loved this night darling boy, you would’ve laughed all night! We miss you so much 🩵💙🩵 ILYM xxx
