Poor turnout for the Baipip social evening

It was a poor turnout at the Three Horse Shoes on Monday for the Baipip social evening and mini auction. However, the disappointment of the attendance was out shadowed by the 20 or 30 people who attended on the night and managed to raise nearly £500 for the upkeep of this web site and further archiving materials. A total of £498.90 was raised. A framed and autographed photograph of all the cast of Coronation Street was successfully bidded for by Elsie Knight. Barbara Smith claimed a bottle of whisky donated by Town councillor Alex Vodden by winning the How well do you know Brierley quiz. The prizes for best dressed witch and warlock went to Margaret and Joan Clarke. The bottle of House of Commons whisky signed by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown and donated by Jeff Ennis MP was won by Mr S O Svensson from Hillside with number 329 while other lucky number winners were Joan Clarke with number 389 who won a ladies wrist watch and Betty Ogley with number 309 who won a cuddly toy holding a bottle of wine.
