Overgate Hospice’s annual sporting dinner raised a whopping £66,127 earlier this month.

The event, held at The Venue in Barkisland on Friday, January 13, was attended by over 250 people who enjoyed a three-course meal followed by an after-dinner talk from Liverpool footballing legend Alan Kennedy. Comedian Mick Miller rounded off the evening, filling the room with laughter.

The guests took part in a sport themed card game along with a silent auction and main auction adding to the final total raised on the evening of £66,127.
