SOUTHPORT RAISES £££’s FOR RED CROSS
COLLECTIONS in
Tesco, Southport for Red Cross raised a staggering £996.79!! Volunteers and staff were out in force during the fundraising drive
at Tesco at Kew collecting on behalf of the British Red Cross on
Friday 28 September 2007 to Saturday 29 September 2007.
Quote from Alexis Fairclough local senior fundraiser said:-
“We are delighted that people in Southport have come forward to
support the Red Cross collection.
An amazing £1000 was raised
through our collection and it is a testament to the generosity of
the people of Southport.
All money raised will go towards helping
the Red Cross to care for vulnerable people in crisis, in Sefton as
well as around the UK and overseas.
It was a fantastic collection
across the whole of Merseyside. Southport’s collection was one of
the best we have ever done, raising nearly £1000 to help us to keep
providing vital services in the local community.
I must say a big thank you to Councillor Hands for coming to lend his support, and to
Doug Cottrell and members from Southport Rotary who helped collect
all day on Friday.
Special thanks to the volunteers and staff who
collected all day and with the money raised, we will be able to be
there when crisis occurs in this neighbourhood.
For more information
on British Red Cross please visit our website
www.redcross.org.uk. Thanks to all the
customers at Tesco for their generous donations.”
During the weekend of 28 Friday 2007 and Saturday 29 September 2007, The
British Red Cross Volunteers and Staff were out in force collecting
from the public to help people in crisis in the community. TESCO
stores across the region opened their doors even wider!! which
allowed collectors from British Red Cross shake their buckets and
tins!!
A visit at Southport store by Mayor of Sefton Councillor
Richard Hands was most appreciated. Mr Mayor took time out his busy
schedule on Saturday morning to come along and meet the volunteers,
who were there all day, and to offer words of encouragement and
support for Red Cross. |
The
Ultimate Tribute (working title) is holding auditions!
PRESENTED by
Graham Norton, The Ultimate Tribute (working title) is a brand new
talent show that will leave viewers amazed… and wondering if seeing
is believing.
We’re looking for the Uk’s best singers who think they could be a
tribute act as well as professional tribute acts who think they’re
the best. Performers don’t have to just sing like a superstar, they
have to look like them, dress like them, and act like them. In fact
they have to live, breathe and actually turn themselves into the
superstar of their dreams. The tribute acts we are looking for are
Elton John, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Robbie Williams, Rod
Stewart, Freddie Mercury, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard, Lionel Richie,
Madonna, Whitney Houston, Cher, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Kylie
Minogue, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, and Dusty Springfield.
Auditions will be held in:-
London, Friday 2 and Saturday 3 November 2007
Birmingham, Monday 5 November 2007
Manchester, Tuesday 6 and Wednesday 7 November 2007
Newcastle, Thursday 8 November 2007
Edinburgh, Saturday 10 November 2007
Each week, our tribute artists will be put through their paces as
they try to capture the performing essence of an established
superstar. They’ll be given performance tips by a host of top
professionals, from vocal coaches to choreographers, make-up artists
to costume makers. And it all leads up to weekly live shows on
BBC ONE, in front of a studio audience of friends and their icons’
Superfans, to win those all-important viewers’ votes. Who can
combine their looks, voice and acting talents into a complete
package that suspends the audience’s disbelief and perform as a
star? Who will the nation choose as their greatest superstar double?
For the winner there’s a once in a lifetime opportunity - a three
month performing contract in Las Vegas with the renowned "Legends
in Concert", one of the longest-running celebrity impersonator
shows in the world.
