Market Place Oakham
Wednesday 8th September 2010
6.30 pm
All Welcome
The Life Guards Band will perform
Oakham's Mayor Cllr Sharon Spencer will
attend and leave to chair a delayed
Town Council Meeting
There will be collection for the ABF The soldiers Charity
(formally the: The Army Benevolent Fund - the Army's official charity)
I am always keen to support charity but this event concerns me, last year it collected less in the buckets than the cost of the reception held for invited dignitaries at Oakham Castle after the public event.
It is my understanding charities like these are set up to raise money for the very justified deserving causes they claim to support.
So I ask any so called local dignitaries who attends think carefully if you are invited to a free reception this year. NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS FREE
The cost of last years reception would have help pay for Big Brother's Steve's better legs, he wants and needs and he is covered by this branch of the charity.
Maybe the organisers should sell tickets to cover the cost and raise some cash for this worthy cause.
How about it Mr ********? and don't you dare approach me this year and tell me I am not welcome at this public event! I don't take threats anymore!
