Friday 29th October 2010 - Fancy That! Halloween Party

This was the first time 'Fancy That' raised cash officially for Robert, and it did not disappoint.

 

With more prizes handed out than last year by far, most people left with something to look forward to. This included a Spa day for two at the Crowne Plaze, framed Old Firm photographs, £50 Schuh vouchers, restaurant vouchers for meals all over Scotland, beauty treatments for top city centre salons and much more. Check our facebook page for a full list.

 

Sharon McDonald left with best dressed female as Mary Poppins, and Ryan McKenna got the best dressed male prize with Mr. T.

 

'Can I Cake It' provided a fantastic buffet, and the full Riddell family must be applauded for this. Everyone truly enjoyed it.

 

The football shirts went for some serious dosh, with Peter Bennett and Christina McCormack snapping up the Rangers shirt for £150. Neil Riddell took the first of his shirts for £220, a signed Celtic shirt. But no-one expected both Neil and his sister to enter a bidding war for the Rab's Fund shirt - with Neil being triumphant with a £660 bid. Amazing stuff.

 

After this, the party started. Jordan McKenna gave everyone a mesmerising performance as Freddie Mercury, and Neil and Sharon danced to 'Chim Chim Cher-ee'.

 

A massive Thriller-thon erupted near the end of night, and everyone danced their Halloween socks off.

 

The final act of the night was a sight to be seen. Three men getting their heads shaved for cash - and Bobby had the ol' soup strainer shaved off - his famous moustache.

 

A final count revealed that £4065 was raised, with more coming in over the next few weeks. We'll try and give a final figure very soon. 

 

Well done to everyone involved, great effort!
