£500 raised for NPMD
Friday, 11 July, 2014
Section UK of the International Police Association (IPA) has raised £500 which will be donated to the National Police Memorial Day (NPMD).
The 1st Annual Charity Ball was organised as a national event and took place in York. Special guests included the founder of the NPMD, Joe Holness and his wife Sharon; the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire, David Kenworthy; The Lord Mayor of York with the Lady Mayoress. Entertainment was provided by Eden, world class singers Libby Johnstone and Lucy Campbell.
Speaking about the event, Dave Taylor, Secretary General and organiser of the event said, ‘"The Royal York Hotel provided an excellent service and situated the event in a room which was perfect for the singers’ performance. All those who attended had a great time and commented on the excellent value provided for the ticket price of just £35.”
The £500 was raised by raffle – the star prize being a flight in an RAF simulator. Web news will bring more news about this at a later date.
