In the reception area there was a large display of signed photos and memorabilia that formed a silent auction by sealed bid. The boot from Usain Bolt had a reserve price of £600.
The meal started with speeches from Kerry Louise Alley (the main organiser of the event) Charlotte Lawley who represented the Solihull Downs Family Support Group and Steve Dawson from the CHARGE Family Support group.
During the evening there were various table games and auctions of various items which added up to an estimated £3,000 to £4,000 which will be split between both charities.
The whole event was very slick and well organised. It was a credit to Kerry and her friends.
