Last Saturday evening Graeme and myself along with Chris and Goran (new Regional Commanders) had the pleasure of being 'honoured guests' at this years charity Burns night supper organised by the British Chamber of Commerce. The reason for this was that for 2007 and 2008 The Salvation Army is their chosen charity and this year the money raised is going to Patverums!

So Graeme, Chris and Goran put their best Salvation Army uniforms on and I had to do my best to look suitably 'dressed up' with a bump for a black tie event!

As you will see from the pictures below we enjoyed ourselves and the evening went really well. The 4 of us had the honour of being part of the procession walking in behind and Scottish bagpipe player, British Ambassador and his wife and joining them on the top table! Not something Graeme and I thought we'd be doing when we set up Patverums almost 5 years ago!

Graeme's put a lot of hard work into this over the past year so we're really thankful to him and although we're still waiting for the final figures to come in it we know that the event has raised around 4,000ls (that's about the same in pounds) for the centre which is AMAZING!!!
