First event a big success

The first Lady Taverners fund raising event to take place led by the new regional chair, Sophie Lacey, was a huge success, making around £2.5k for the charity.

The Summer Quiz was attended by over 110 guests. Held on 18 June at As You Like It in Jesmond, it was sponsored by Seven Investment Management (7IM) which is based in the City’s financial district and has chosen the Lord’s and Lady Taverners as its charity of choice across the UK for 2015.

Speaking about the success of the evening, Sophie said: “We are really pleased with the feedback we have had for our first event. The Lynch Mob was the outright winner on the night, but everyone said they had really enjoyed the evening. We look forward to organising many more exciting events in the future.

“A big thank you to our sponsors Seven IM, to Sam Moore, who was our fantastic quiz master and to Trevor Roberts who took our photos on the night, to the committee - Gurdeep, Kathryn, Sarah and Philippa - as well as everyone who attended and bought raffle tickets.”

The next Taverners event will be a Comedy Night on 15 October.
