Last month here at James Doyle Opticians, in Wilmslow Cheshire, we celebrated 20 years of trading in Wilmslow, with a fundraising party, kindly supported by many other local traders.
It was all in aid of UK-Med who are raising money to help fight the recent Ebola outbreak
The guests enjoyed some delicious canapes, supplied by Cook, Wilmslow, washed down with a glass of chilled Champagne, whilst watching a video montage of how the practice has developed since its opening in the 1990's, including this fresh faced gem !
Entertainment was provided by the talented Alessia Doyle, who had chosen some wonderful tracks which managed to name check some of the luxury brands in stock, very clever.
Then the serious fund raising began, with Graham Doyle acting as auctioneer. Prizes included dinner for two at The Alderley Edge Hotel, two Pandora bracelets from Mr & Mrs Orme, sunglasses from Chanel and Dunhill, as well as some stylish cufflinks from Dunhill, a signed CD and DVD by Russell, The Voice, Watson, two bespoke shirts from Harris and Howard and an original piece of artwork by Eliza Brown.
Further prizes were entered into a raffle and included a sumptuous gift set from Hoopers Wilmslow, designer clothes from Black White Denim, a doggy hamper from Barkers, scents from Cartier, a voucher from Haslams shoes Sunglasses from Cartier and Maui Jim, a trial membership at David Lloyd Leisure, Cheadle and a make over at Harper & Quinn hair salon.
In total more than £2,000 was raised and much fun was had. Here is to the next 20 years !
