WAYNE BROWN TESTIMONIAL DINNER |
On Thursday 8th July,
Wayne held his Sportsman’s evening at the Slowboat
Chinese restaurant in Chester. Over 120 people packed
into the restaurant to enjoy the oriental cuisine on
offer not to mention sampling a few beers along the
way.
Guest speakers at the event were Alex Stepney, the former Manchester
United goalkeeper (a fitting choice of speaker by Wayne’s committee)
and comedian Ven Tracey who kept the packed audience in stitches throughout
the evening. There was also an auction of various sporting artefacts
including a signed Celtic shirt from Henrick Larsson, and a signed and
framed photograph of Ernie Shavers the world heavyweight boxing champ
as well as a horse race and a sporting quiz.
The evening finished at midnight and was a great success. Thanks must
go to Alex Stepney and Ven Tracey for their time and to all those who
donated monies and items for the auction.
Extra special thanks to Osprey Windows for sponsorship of the event.
