It was a really good night and well supported.
The madcap evening kicked off with music from the talented kids from Sanat Music Scool, all aged between 7 and 15. They included two rock Bands "the Bands with no names" and their take on Pink Floyds "Brick in the Wall" was great. Tommy Turtle then made a guest appearance and gave them all presents of Carnival baseball caps.
A fun quiz of childrens questions for adults with wine for both the winners and the losers then took place before the Crackerjack game where there was a lot of dropping of cabbages! (not sure who won this as I was outside getting very sticky running the doughnut eating contest) Although Lisa had made the most sugary jammy doughnuts ever - still 3 people managed to eat them without licking their lips and Sunnyd's son did it for the second year running! Well done
Diverbaz won the Guess the number of sweets in the jar competition. In the garden kids were batting rats, bobbing apples and building a giant jenga tower whilst the "big kids" were playing Killer Pool or trying to balance their loose change on lemons (don't ask!).
The raffle was won by Mrs KM who chose the meal for 2 at Mosaic Bache (thanks Nichola and Dogan) and then, as Mrs KM also had the second winning ticket, she asked for the prize of Pudsey Bear and Brandy to be auctioned off. Tom Moss was the highest bidder and he then generously donated it back to auction again! What a night!
The party then got going until the small hours as singers Lisa and Dennis Davey got everyone up dancing. Tom also gave us a song and there were some really good karaoke turns.
About 150 people attended and we took 900 TL on the night - so after a few expenses we made 812 TL for the children - a big, big, thank you to everyone and a big, big thank you to Mete and the staff at the Golden Moon who were great.
Unfortunately my camera played up during th night so if anyone has any pictures, particularly the crackerjack game and the doughnuts please can you e-mail them to me. Thanks
