An evening of fun and relaxation…
The OCCA Surfex Charity Dinner will be held in the Banqueting Suite at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry at 7.00pm on Tuesday 8 June to co-incide with SURFEX 2021. Guests will enjoy a drinks reception and 3 course dinner, whilst also having the chance to ‘hedge their bets’ in the ever-popular ‘Fun Casino’. Musical entertainment will also be provided. There will, as always, be a charity cash raffle, with some exceptional prizes up for grabs.
Organisers Ann-Marie Etherington (Kaleidoscope Colours Ltd) and Nikki Davis (Stort Chemicals) commented “As in previous years, the emphasis will be on great food, good fun and relaxation, after a very busy day at the exhibition.”
Additionally, the organisers hope to raise significant funds for 4 nominated charities:
– Breast Cancer Clinical Trials
– Alzheimer’s Society
– British Heart Foundation
– Kidscan
Ann-Marie adds “It’s very satisfying to be able to provide a fun networking event for all our guests and to raise money for some fantastic causes all at the same time. It makes all the effort of organising the event so much more worthwhile”.
