THANKS A MILLION TO ALL YOU GENEROUS PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED LAST NIGHTS MALI EVENING!!!!!
We raised well over £500, and the figure is rising with donations coming in from people that couldn't make it.
Thanks to Dennis at the Fashion and Textile Museum for helping me, and for letting the event take place, thanks to my overworked shop assistant Lucy, my bartender Nellie, to Barnaby for bringing lovely books and donating a third of the profits, to Tom for turning up with signed copies of his Mali travel tales, to my badly treated assistant Michelle, thanks for great gifts from Sara, Gisela and many others. To everyone elso who came and helped and spent: Thanks from the Bozo children above for everyone's support which will help to keep the pinasse ambulance afloat! The winner of the raffle was Rose of Eland Publishing.
