Soroptimist International of Harrogate & District were delighted to welcome guests and Harrogate’s first Town Mayor, Chris Aldred to their Charity Event on Friday 16 May at the Crown Hotel Harrogate – An Evening with Caroline Hawley – BBC TV Personality & Expert Auctioneer.
Caroline gave an insight into her work with TV and shared her extensive knowledge of antiques and collectables. Her enthusiasm and passion showed through, as she spent time talking about, and valuing, the antiques and collectables that guests had brought. In the last part of the evening, everyone was able to experience Caroline in action, as she ran a Charity Auction of experiences that local businesses had donated. Raising a total of £1758. A fantastic amount.
Harrogate & District Soroptimist President Sheila Ince said:
‘It was a fabulous evening, thoroughly enjoyed by all, at the same time as raising money to enable Just ‘B’ to provide additional Student Health & Wellbeing Support for students of Rossett School, Harrogate’.
Thank you to The Majestic Hotel, Hotel du Vin, The Fat Badger Group Hotels and Rudding Park for donating the Experiences – from Afternoon Teas to Spa Experiences and Weekends Away.
