The meal was last Friday (Sept 04) at The Venue, Cleveleys and was organised by four guide dog users – Nicky Askew, Susan Wakeley, Michelle Tomlinson, and Lisa Daley.
Nicky Askew, 52, of Brentwood Avenue, said: “People blew us away with their kindness and support. We reached a fantastic total of £1026.48.”
She had been aiming to raise enough money to name a Guide Dog puppy ‘Panache’ after a style of dance fitness that Nicky regularly takes part in.
