Saturday 17th December Romeo & Juliet's in Burnley
7:30 till Late!
Ok folks the news you've all been waiting for! 'The Longside' has gone from strength to strength this past year and so we felt it was time to congratulate ourselves with a great party event!

Firstly our special guest and compere for the evening is non other than the brilliant Jeff Brown.

Jeff is one of many high profile Celebrity Clarets, I am sure we all know him well. With many Clarets Trust events under his belt he also brings an obvious interest in our fundraising support from this event!

That brings us to the ticket news!

I am sure people appreciate a fully booked exclusive venue costs money, not to mention the full buffet and DJ that is also provided, but we wanted to fund raise as well with our full support as usual going to the Clarets Trust . We are still able to provide brilliant value for money though! A private secure venue, dance floor and DJ, full buffet, bar and staff with fantastic Clarets company is only going to cost £10 per ticket!

We'll come back to the fundraising in a minute but let's look at the superb venue we have secured!

Romeo and Juliet's is going to be completely to ourselves with a guest list and doorman! With it's own entrance, it is situated at 12 St James Row, Burnley so gives us an ideal town centre location. It is capable of holding 120 people in comfort and, as you see from the pictures, has a very nice and comfortable decor.

The venue is known to some of our Admin team and also by Jeff Brown himself and promises to be ideal! The manager has been extremely supportive and for this we thank him.

So time to come back to the most important reason behind the night! Fundraising for The Clarets Trust.

'The Longside' has shown it's support for The Trust for some months now with regular reporting of events and promoting membership through 'The Longside Lounge' and 'Front Page News' It's about time we gave them what's needed the most-Funds!
From EVERY ticket sold at £10 we will donate at least £1! In fact if we have over 40 people attend that will rise massively! With a paying guest list of 60 people we will guarantee a donation of over £200.That's at least one share in Burnley FC! On top of that the evening will also see a special raffle with all proceeds also going to The Trust.

What's special about a raffle you may ask!

Well following our sponsorship of one of Burnley's physio team, Claire Judd, we have a first prize of Claire's signed Shirt! This is being presented to us at the game that afternoon and will surely become a collectors item in future years! With other prizes to be confirmed plus a bottle of bubbly by Romeo and Juliet's themselves, it promises to be well worth a few "strips" at £1 each!

All in all it's certainly going to be a night to remember!

More details will follow over the next few days so please "pop" into our Lounge messageboard to keep up with everything.
