The Tanzanian Charity Link Race night which was held on Saturday 15 May 2010 at Whitehaven Rugby League Club raised an impressive £1227.
The event was supported by Members of the Cumbria Rungwe Community Link, family friends and work colleagues. The night was full of fun and games with people betting on race horses and participating in 'Toss the Coin' at a bottle of whisky and a bottle of wine which raised £40 alone!
The entertainment was provided by local singers Tom Salmon and Emma Dockray who did a fantastic job in keeping the crowd entertained during the interval. Neil Gribbin hosted the Race Night along with Gary and Louise McCartney.
One of the Link Leaders, Don Allen thanked everyone who had given up their spare time to support the Charity Event which was a huge success. The funds raised will be taken out to Tanzania in July this year and will be used towards the costs of building projects in schools in Rungwe and the local area.
Thanks to Paul Goodwin for allowing the Link to use the WRLFC clubhouse.
Donations towards the night were received from High Grange Developments, DBD Nuclear, The Rum Story, Muncaster Castle, Oddfellows - St Bees, Indigo Indian - Cockermouth, Metier - Whitehaven, Westminster Café - Whitehaven, Yankees - Workington, Jamie Reed, MP, C Mason, Jennings Brewery, Plaza Cinema and various prizes donated by Tanzanian Link members, family and friends.
A great night was had by all.
