Ashford couple inundated after goodwill
offering
Ernie and Sue Warren, proprietors of
Sandyacres Sports and Social Club in Ashford, have been inundated
with offers of support for their third annual Senior Citizens
Christmas Party.
kmfm Ashford’s popular
breakfast show presenters will once again join a host of local
talent for the event. John Webster aka Webbo will once again be
hosting, with co-presenter Kirstyn Read lending support.
The party increases in popularity each year
and almost become too popular. Webbo explains “We had 60 attend
the first year, 80 the second and we could have had 200 this year
as the word has spread. Unfortunately we can only cater for 100
this year because of limited space.”
In addition to the kmfm presenters donating
their time, regular KM Group advertiser and avid listener John
Howland of Swift Security also got involved after hearing the event
mentioned, donating funds that will cover
the meals.
All of staff and helpers for the party
volunteer their time. Webbo adds “Ricky Fontaine, a local singing
‘legend’ brings all his p.a. stuff and does some Rock n’ Roll.
Entertainer Ellie Fury will return to where it all began at this
year’s party and Alan Peach will get the sing-along going with some
“roll out the barrel”-type songs.
"Plus this year we are joined by a Beverley
Sisters type tribute act, called The Clover Sisters. I MC the event
and Kirstyn chips in with helping serve up the delicious
three-course Christmas dinner.”
The party takes place mid-day on Thursday,
December 17 and lasts approximately three hours.
