LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, October 23, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Leading Cheshire hotel The Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa, recently welcomed celebrity cricketer Freddie Flintoff as its guest when he hosted a Charity Sportsman's Dinner in aid of children's charity Wooden Spoon, which supports disadvantaged children across the UK and Ireland.
Forty guests attended the glitzy event - including former England Rugby League player Andy Gregory, former England Rugby Union players Simon Halliday and Chris Sheasby, Samantha Brook-Chrispin of Seabrook Crisps - and they were treated to a complimentary three course meal in the magnificent Mediterranean style Ciro's Brasserie.
The after-dinner raffle and silent auction - during which several cricket bats signed by Freddie Flintoff were auctioned - and the charity cricket match held the following day - sponsored by Seabrook Crisps - raised GBP5,000 for Wooden Spoon.
Lucy Nelson, sales and marketing director of Nelson Hotels, says: "We were delighted to support such a worthwhile cause. Many people, including Freddie, freely gave of their time and we were honoured to be able to contribute."
Event organiser Richard Greenwood adds: "Everyone had a wonderful evening raising funds for a very worthy charity. The setting was perfect and the generosity of the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa, in providing much welcomed support and such wonderful food in beautiful surroundings was very much appreciated."
