A spectacular evening at the RAF Club in Piccadilly, London, helped raise £7000 for Mark Davies Injured Riders’ Fund.
‘An Evening with Clare Balding’ saw over 100 supporters of the charity turn out in their splendour to enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by the fantastic RAF chefs, in the stunning surroundings of the ballroom.
With the event being held on November 11, it was fitting to be in such a wonderful place and to admire the paintings and tributes to days gone by and those who so bravely fought for our freedom.
After dinner guests were treated to an insightful and funny half-hour talk from Clare, where she shared interesting stories from her childhood and more recent sporting events.
Ever generous with her time, Clare took questions from the audience before happily signing copies of her book, whilst chatting with supporters.
During the evening the charity ran both a raffle and an auction with prizes ranging from a Tuscan holiday, to a ‘Behind the Scenes’ day at Hickstead with Scott Brash and Steven Wilde.
Mark Davies Injured Riders’ Fund would like to thank Clare, all their guests and those who donated and bought prizes for making the evening so memorable for all involved.
