Last Saturday night -update !

Andrew was back on the drums last Saturday night with his group [resistance is futile] at Pete "bloaters "monthly biker rock night at Rhyl rugby club. Bloater [pictured left] has been organizing these charity nights for years and has been quietly donating hundreds of pounds to various causes together with the whistle stop bikers club charity runs he organizes- he has made a considerable contribution to the charities he supports. I seem to remember one charity run out on the bikes was to support breast cancer-the bikers all wore bras over their leather jackets !!! He was only to happy to help out with our fund raising-[having known Andrew for years but not realizing we were related ]The rock night was well attended with the group blasting out their cover versions of the favorites -thin lizzy, free, black sabbath etc .Hubby took on the bucket challenge and was first out of the gates to do some fund raising -followed after by Alex-by which time the bucket had started to feel heavy by the end of the night it needed wheels !! Bloater donated all the money he had made on the door - a whopping £1200.00 was raised in total for MNDA .What a brilliant night-bloater you are a star,a heartfelt thank you to you and the band [the boys waived their fees - adding that to the bucket] what kind hearted fellas you all are
Andrew was delighted !
