Oh What a (Ladies) Night!

On Friday 6th November, Lannie and Ken Howard hosted the Court Knoll Lodge Ladies’ Night, which this year had an extra special reason to celebrate: the 40th anniversary of Court Knoll Lodge! And what a night it was.

With tables beautifully decorated, the food being prepared in the kitchens and the West End Jerseys getting ready for their performance, the atmosphere was building long before the first guests arrived. It was clear that a great deal of time, effort and care had gone into making the evening something special, and everyone was looking forward to a night of celebration, friendship, fun and, of course, a little philanthropy.

And the evening certainly didn’t disappoint!

The food was absolutely beautiful, providing the perfect start to a fantastic evening. Guests were also treated to some wonderful entertainment, including a caricaturist who was busy capturing some familiar faces. Some of the portraits were remarkably accurate, although we think Bro. Leeders’ likeness might just have been a little too perfect!

There were some incredible prizes on offer in the raffle, thanks to the generosity of our fantastic supporters and donors. The excitement continued throughout the evening, with plenty of laughter, dancing and music keeping everyone entertained. And perhaps a few glasses raised in celebration along the way! After all, you only celebrate a 40th anniversary once.

But beyond the entertainment, the evening was also about giving something back. We are absolutely delighted to announce that the event raised an incredible £4,600, with even more fundraising to come before the end of the year!

That is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the generosity and support of everyone involved.

A huge thank you goes to everyone who donated raffle prizes, gave up their time, helped with the organisation, worked behind the scenes and, of course, everyone who came along and made the evening such a success.

Special thanks must go to Ken and Lorraine, whose hard work, generosity and commitment helped make the occasion so memorable. They are truly grateful to everyone who played a part.

Forty years of Court Knoll Lodge is certainly something worth celebrating, and this was a wonderful way to mark the occasion.

Here’s to the next 40 years!
