Andy and Jeff Winter
UsOn Friday the 20Th March, we attended a Sportsman's dinner in aid of raising some money for the Shropshire Alliance League at the Lord Hill Hotel.
The evening consisted of a dinner (obviously!), a guest speaker in the form of Jeff Winter a former Premier League Referee, a comedian called Danny Dalton, Irish Bingo and an auction of football memorabilia.
The evening started with dinner, vegetable soup to start, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and vegetables for main and apple pie and custard for pudding. Quite a filling dinner, but very nice.
The guest speaker Jeff Winter then entertained us after dinner with some of his stories and experiences being a premier league referee. He was very funny and interesting.
The comedian started after a short interval and with a very risque joke, but very funny!
The league had also hired a very brave lady in my opinion! Her job was to model the the football memorabilia for the auction, with little else on!
Andy had managed to get two signed football shirts, Leicester City and Shrewsbury Town to donate to the auction.
After the auction, Jeff Winter finished off his talk and did a book signing. Andy bought one of his books, will he read it? That's debatable!
All in all the evening went very well, the league didn't raise as much as they had hoped, but it was their first evening they had hosted, so next time should be much better.
We enjoyed ourselves, it makes a nice change to do something different in the evening sometimes.
