The wet weather did nothing to dampen the spirits at the Paramount Club last Friday night, when over two hundred people turned out to launch RecAid. Steve Halford chaired a lively auction, with holidays, drink and a cricket bat signed by the England team among the items for sale: the bat is now very probably priceless.

The RecAid total now stands at just over £10,000, of which £8,000 was raised at the Paramount. It's a great start but there's a long way to go. Already there are plenty of ideas for other events and many offers of help, as well as donations arriving at the RecAid website.
