The Matthew Fulham Foundation

Picture Of Matthew 3 weeks before his death
Well the ball is well and truly over now, all of the trustees are breathing a sigh of relief after an intense week leading up to the event.

What a fantastic night was had by all. The Sketchley Grange Hotel did a good job of getting the food served hot and tasty (always difficult when there are a large number of people to be served).

The charity raised £2700 on the night plus what the photographer donates (£2 per picture purchased). To see the proofs go to www.artography.uk.com Click on private galleries and input 'fulham' to view images. Images can still be purchased for the next 2-3 weeks by contacting Lesley Bee on 01455 450455.
The nights entertainment was provided by Pianist Brian Groves and Balloon modelling at the tables by award winning Thelma Levitt during the Dinner.

After Dinner vocalist Ella-May Stanier wowed us with her singing (hard to believe that this confident entertainer was only 13). Followed by dancing to the award winning John Cleveland College Big/Jazz Band directed by Garry Sleath. During the bands interval Christian Dawson played the piano.
