As I’ve said previously, Buffy and I are climbing Kilimanjaro to raise money for The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the first step towards hitting our initial £5000 target was to run a charity dinner at the always fabulous Gurkha Kitchen in Oxted.
To entice the locals out on a Monday night who better than Bath, England and Lions legend Lee Mears and Wales, Lions and Golfing legend Andy Powell. The two rugby men took questions from the room about everything from the upcoming Rugby World Cup, favourite tour memories, the state of the game and their favourite service stations on the M4. The auction and raffle raised an incredible £2000 for the charity and got us a good start on the way to our target.
I’d like to offer a huge thank you to all those who attended, to Lee Mears and Andy Powell who entertained the room, to my brother Andrew for providing some very generous prizes and to Purna Gurung and the amazing team at The Gurkha Kitchen for hosting the whole thing!
