Over 60 guests contributed a total of £695.00, excluding gift aid, in aid of The National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC), which offers support to adult survivors of childhood abuse.
Branch president Jonathan Wernick, Chartered MCSI said: "A surprise element of this dinner was The Three Waiters, who fooled most into thinking they were waiting staff, until they broke into some sensational singing." He praised the event as a success and thanked the committee, regional members and his wife for the support, and endorsed David Spokes, Chartered FCSI, his successor who will be taking over the presidency role later this month.
Director of global business development, Kevin Moore, Chartered MCSI thanked Jonathan for his service over the past seven years.
