Well... what a night. 💚
I'm feeling absolutely rough today and full of cold, but I couldn't let the day go by without saying a massive thank you to everyone who made last night's first ITSGD2TK Quiz Night what it was.
Honestly, it went as well as I could have hoped. The place was full, the atmosphere was brilliant, people laughed, talked, sang, danced, got competitive over the quiz 😂 and most importantly, people came together.
And that's what ITSGD2TK is all about.
We raised £535 on the night before the remaining event expenses, which is absolutely incredible and will go straight back into helping us grow ITSGD2TK, create more opportunities for people to connect and keep building what we're trying to build in our community.
A huge thank you to Rick and Dave for taking on quizmaster duties and doing a brilliant job, to Shara for kicking off the live music, Andrew and Steve from Aperitivo for another fantastic set, and to the Frodsham Belly Dancers for bringing something completely different to the night and getting everyone involved.
Massive thanks as well to Joe, Robbie and everyone at Kash 22 for hosting us and helping us make the night happen.
Thank you to Mark, Connor, Ricky and everyone else who helped behind the scenes, whether that was setting things up, organising, selling raffle tickets, helping on the night, spreading the word or simply asking what needed doing and getting stuck in.
And Ricky deserves a special mention for making the incredible VW Camper BBQ pit for us to auction. It went for £170 on its own! An amazing contribution from one of the guys from our ITSGD2TK Men's Group and something that made the night even more special.
We also couldn't have done it without the generosity of the local businesses and individuals who donated prizes.
A massive thank you to Kash 22 , Lady Heyes Holiday Park , Brewski's , Skin Science & Spirituality, The Open Chair , Connor Farrell, Marc Wilson and everyone else who donated something towards the raffle and auction. Every single donation helped us raise what we did.
But the biggest thank you has to go to everybody who bought a ticket, bought raffle tickets, bid in the auction, donated, performed, volunteered or simply turned up and supported us.
I've had some absolutely lovely feedback since last night, and seeing a room full of people enjoying themselves, meeting people, talking and connecting reminded me exactly why we started doing this.
This wasn't just about raising money.
It was about bringing people together.
And judging by last night, I think we need to do it again. ❤️
Thank you. Genuinely.
