DIamond and Ice Birthday Party

The Captain's Club Hotel celebrated its 4th birthday party in style with a huge "Diamond and Ice" themed party.

Nearly 400 fans of the hotel turned out to help us celebrate the occasion and most fittingly, ice skaters from the forthcoming "Dancing on Ice" TV show were also in attendance to add a little extra sparkle to the evening.

As well as celebrating the hotel's birthday, the aim of the evening was to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charities, the Cicely Foundation and The Royal Bournemouth Hospital Jigsaw Appeal, so many thanks to all who gave so generously.  The final figure raised will be published as soon as we have confirmed the total.

Further details of our chosen charities are available on our website; www.captainsclubhotel.com/charities

Well I am here in the dock and have just received my sentence.  Fortunately the bail money I have raised to date – thank you to Sarah, Chris, Kim, Jason, The Songbirds and Gary means that I have a reprieve until Monday – but only because I am working!  So please dig deep and help me get the bail money I need to prevent a long sentence….. I will be in touch again, from the inside! HELP!

Captain's Club Hotel director to go to jail!

Tim Lloyd, Managing Director at the Captain's Club Hotel has been told he must start his jail sentence on Monday 18th October - but don't panic, it's all for charity!

Tim has volunteered to do time behind bars to raise money for the LV Streewise Charity.
To "earn" his freedom he must raise £1500, and this is where he needs your help. Tim is relying on donations to help him acheive "jail bail".
Yes, we know there's a few who would rather pay to keep him there, but we're hoping that enough of you will want to see him released to allow him to complete his challenge and gain back his freedom!

If you would like to see Tim again, please give generously here; www.justgiving.com/tim-lloyd 

The Final Day

The final day on the mountain was to be a hard one, 6 hours of down hill, rocky, sandy scrubland and then rainforest. Myself and Louise Canny were so excited by the prospect of a cold beer and a proper loo that we did it in 3 and a half hours ………. Not quite sure if that’s impressive or worrying?! However we are met at the bottom by 4 of the children from the orphanage who give us petal garlands, bottles of water, juice and hot flannels. It was a fantastic end to a beautiful experience, one I will never forget.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me, supported me, encouraged me and willed me on.

Thank you everyone. Good night and god bless.
