JENNIE-PATROL

On Sunday 29th January 2012 Bear-Patrol had a small outing to Eastbourne on the train to watch Jennie Castell in Cabaret at The Hart, with Fonda Cox hosting the afternoon.

It was a great day out, there were lots of games including Play Your Cards Right, Bingo and Blankety Blank, with Jennie being the glamorous assistant.

Santa-Patrol

On Sunday 18th December 2011 Bear-Patrol once again decended upon the Camelford Arms (The Toe) for their annual Santa-Patrol event.

This year Danny & Sleazy Santa (Ant Howells) were joined by Mary Christmas (Terry Shaw). David and Andrew at The Camelford provided us with a fabulous grotto to be our home for the day.

There were kisses and photo's galore in the grotto.

Later there was a complimentary buffet provided by The Camelford followed by a Charity Raffle organised by David Silver.

Bear-Patrol in association with The Camelford Arms managed to raise £419.63 beating last years total.

Cabaret-Patrol II

Tinsel & Tights Cabaret

The Brighton Ballroom, formerly the Hanbury Ballroom in Kemptown played host to Sussex Beacons Christmas Cabaret on Wednesday 7th December 2011.

There were a number of artistes performing including the hosts Maisie Trollette & Miss Pooh La May, along with Jennie Castell, Krissie Du Cann, Jamie Watson and Jason Lee.

There was a Charity Auction selling Eastenders memorabilia, this included an 'Albert Square' street sign that was signed by cast members, a Cheer leader outfit as worn by Character Kim Fox - this was bought by Danny Dwyer. Also a pair of Pat Butcher's Earrings bought by Terry Shaw.

Bear-Patrol organised a visit to the show and this raised £570 through ticket sales and auction bids from BP Members.

A very moving evening, lost but not forgotten.

In friendship united.

We were greeted by the fabulous Miss Jason in the lounge area and served with fabulous cocktails and canapes.


Next we moved through to the Fremont Suite, where a Secret Raffle took place - guests were asked to look under their seat to locate a raffle ticket - a winning ticket was pulled out of the hat. They won a fabulous weekend break at at Avon Gorge Hotel  Bristol.


We all had a sumptuous lunch (lovely Turkey and Christmas Pudding were on offer) followed by Cabaret from Miss Jason and also Jennie Castell.
