Blooming Showtime

Blooming Showtime

Our most recent fundraising event raised a fabulous total of £7000 at the Blooming Showtime held at the Ocean Room, Gorleston on September 12th. The Show was lead by Julia Knights, Donna Titcombe from Sophisicats and Lin Nicholls and the compere for the evening was Alan Carr, Head of Great Yarmouth Tourism. It was a musical journey through the ages local businesses sponsoring each decade, our main sponsor for the evening was Great Yarmouth Power Station. A fashion show complemented the floral demonstrations lead by Gerard Bogarrds from Holland. The evening showed a variety of talent of dance, song and first class floral displays. Thank you to all our fundraisers for putting on such a wonderful show.
