    40 tickets sold.
    Stephen didn't attend but sent a video message.
    People seemed to enjoy it.
    When the Foundation send me bank details, I'll send then £2450.00

    Possibly do another next year at a cheaper (£35-£40) price point.

    I was going to do a write up and post via usual social media outlets once the money had been sent.

    A lovely tipple is Carling. Don't know what @Campbell's soup@Campbell's soup is on about either. Haggis, neeps and tatties is a delicacy fit for kings.

    Sounds delightful - but any chance of changing Haggis, neeps and tatties to a kiosk burger or failing that, the contents of a blocked kop toilet?:sick:

    Broken down, we get £52.10 of the ticket price after Eventbrite take their cut. We could have charged plus fees but felt it was better not to.

    The catering costs are out of our hands, as we are using the catering company the club use although I negotiated a discount.

    If we sell out, £22.00 of each ticket will go to the Foundation.

    Ben Bowers, who will be leading the evening is doing so without charge plus letting us have some quality (although yet to be decided upon) whiskies at cost price.

    Taking all this into account, the actual cost of the ticket is around £30.00 including the meal.

    And why haggis, neeps and tatties? It's St. Andrews weekend, we're drinking whisky... So why not.

    Kilts are not compulsory!

    Thanks for your best wishes Ronnie.

    You're welcome. :)

    At the same time, with help of the NHS - Just Outside of ROVRUM (Wickersley) are running a joint Cancer, Leukaemia, Emphacema and Coeliac event - Of which I suffer from two.
    It is expected that it will be well supported, and sponsored.

    Here's hoping any such events are a success. :)

    Kebabs yes. Carling? Come on, i know we have no standards over there but even we wouldn't stoop that low. Well, everyone apart from Hoochy.

    Is the cola mixer included in the price? I can’t seem to find any info on this.

    I really do feel he’s reaching out to the wrong audience advertising on here.

    Even if only one of the readers on here buys a ticket and therefore contributes to the Foundation, it will be the post.

    Over the next four months #whiskyfordarbs will be all over social media, this is just one outlet.

    Although WAY over priced (Particularly with a limited menu) for a good cause ........ It will attract some - But NOT me.
    There are far more things to worry about, closer to HOME than a well admired ex player.
    I hope the event goes well, just as I hope mine (and others) go too. ;)

    You really need to advertise the evening on the Cows Arse forum. Despite the name it’s full of gentlemanly, sophisticated types - they’ll keep it classy.
