MONKEY SEE CHARITY EVENT - 31ST OCTOBER 2009

Back by popular demand, the fantastic covers band Monkey See performed at Corbets Tey School on Saturday 31st October.

Monkey See performed a great set at the school on Halloween night. They performed for free so that all money raised would benefit the school.

There was a main raffle and a separate raffle for a Playstation 3 Games Console and Blu-ray Remote Controller donated by Nick Portch.

It was a great night with some very scarily dressed people present.

A surprise donation was received from partygoers, Nigel Woffindin and Mick Bradley of Graham Lee Associates who donated £500 to pay the band for their services for the night who then promptly gave this to the school. We are so grateful to everyone involved in this wonderful event for their kindness and support.

The total raised for the school from this event is £1370.
