Our presentation lunch was held on 27 January at the
Cavendish Hotel in Eastbourne and was well attended by 82

of cheques raised by Southdowns Satallite section. The photos

Scott Taggart (Eastbourne RNLI) for £480 and to Ursula &

£430. A raffle was held at the event and £173.00 was
raised for our new ‘Satellite’ charity, Eastbourne MENCAP
(No. 218830)
"This was a ‘first’ for me, attending a
presentation lunch (Instead of a formal dinner), and it was an
enjoyable experience. It was good to see so many people
there, especially those from other branches who had travelled some
distance to be there. We welcomed guests from Branches Wey Valley
& Royal Oak as well as members from Southdowns and the
Satellite" …Barry Cole (President)
Presentation Dinner - 23 February 2008
On 23 February we held a presentation lunch at Arundel Park
Hotel, this was attended by over 50 people.

from the Special Care Baby Unit at Worthing Hospital and also
presenting a gift to Pam Hulf. The money donated to Worthing
Hospital will go towards the purchase of a special breathing
monitor which currently costs around £7000.
A
cheque for £100.00 was also presented to Regional President Brian
Hulf for the RC
Benevolent fund. All recipients expressed their delight at
receiving the cheques and it was
equally pleasing to make the presentation.
A
raffle held at the event also raised £80 for our main branch
charity.
