Rutland Hippo's auction Officer’s Mess at St. George’s Barracks, North Luffenham. ABF The Soldiers' Charity with Julia Bradbury update

It's finally good bye to the Rutland Hippos.

Arts for Rutland failed to gain the required sponsorship for this project so it appears in an attempt to claw back some of their losses they have high jacked a very good cause.

Joy Everett could be heard on Rutland Radio begging people to buy the £35 tickets for the event. tables of 10 please if you can't make ten we can fit you in. We have made the event affordable. Please tell me which average family could afford £350 for a night to look at some ugly hippo's?

She made a huge emphasis about the bar. By saying "the bar will be open very late and I mean very late" When will she and her friends such Carey and Jones wake and see life does not have to be a booze fuelled trip!

Are they running buses back home? or are people like Mr Beech going to enjoying another "Piss up in the Brewery" and head for the Rutland Roads in their own cars.

I am guessing as per the norm Inspector Monks will be asking his officers to turn a blind eye that evening?

Silly me I forgot the bar will be only selling J20!

Could be a good night for Oakytaxidriver  David Burton lets hope the Tyers Clan don't puke in the back off his cab.
