Luton Hoo Hotel
Bailey arriving at his ball in style
We arrived for drinks and met up with friend and framer/printer and all round great guy Richard Heath and his wife Karen, we had pre meal drinks with Adam Woodyatt and his family and was finally called in for our meal we had the absolute honour to sit with Baileys Dad and Step Mum Chris and Suzy, they told us about Bailey in more detail and moved both my wife and I and more than one occasion of the night had to hold back the tears.
Then came the Auction, there were 15 lots in total these included some AMAZING prizes including signed Elton John Memorabillia, Westend Theatre Tickets and stay in a luxury hotel, signed Joe Calzaghe boxing gloves, Band & Olufsen sound system signed by Gary Barlow and football shirt and boots signed by Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney from the England vs Holland game.

They were nothing short of amazing and had everyone dancing and it was great to chat with him after

Then came the Raffle including the SUPER raffle with a brilliant prize of a conservatory worth £5,000 we all held are breath with anticipation when Richards hand raised in the air and Karen yelled out.....They had won!! I couldn't believe it but we were soon laughing when Richard revealed he lived in a flat!
