like them or loath them the big dinners are the only way to raise a few quid.
Really?
How about a golf tournament? I'm sure Loch Ness Golf Club would be happy to accomodate and a few of the players/backroom staff could get involved. There must be someone willing to shell out to play around with Richie Foran?
Get Alan Hercher involved and Ann Nicol would be throwing money at you.
Race nights? How about a proper day at the races? Perth or Ayr in the summer? I'll "wager" that would prove popular.
Do you think oor' Rod would do a private shindig in the Kingsmills suite? That would sell out faster than the pies at Killie now Tango man's there.
I think you're being a bit sensitive there LG Charles did not say he didn't enjoy it, just that the dinner (food) could have been better.
