Denver Dances for Addenbrookes!

It was music and dancing for all on Saturday 1st of October when Christopher Eagle and John Cronin organised a karaoke and disco party to raise money in aid of Addenbrookes cancer unit and Papworth heart unit.

The party hosted many different fund raising events which included things such as two live bands playing a selection of oldies and modern rock music, a raffle which held a huge selection of prizes ranging from chocolates to different assorments of wine. There was also a great auction with signed pictures, paintings, teddy bears and much more all sold off to the highest bidder.

Lucy Pywell of Downham Market also daringly offered to shave her head of hair to participate and raise some money!

The fund raiser begun at around 16:00 and carried on through until the early hours of Sunday morning. There was plenty of drinks and different foods on offer so that everyone could find something that they liked and tuck in! The turn out of guests was a huge success with easily over 150 people from Denver and Downham Market turning up.
