Festive Cheer and Generosity at Starlings for the Finale Business Club of 2023
Starling Bar played host to the final Stray Ferret Business Club event of the year, which included great camaraderie, intellectual challenges and heartfelt generosity.
The main event was an engaging Christmas quiz that tested the knowledge of those in attendance. Questions such as "How many gifts are there in the 12 days of Christmas song?", "What is the name of the Grinch's dog?" before moving onto a round all about local news from the past year.
Taking the winning team prize was the 'IDK (I don't know)' team comprising Mel and Phil O'Boyle, Connor Creaghan and Ian Ladley who were rewarded with a delightful Mr. Stanley's goodie bag, overflowing with lots of sweet goodies!
The raffle proved successful thanks to the amazing prizes donated from local businesses, raising an astounding £500 for the Stray Ferret Christmas appeal dedicated to supporting Dementia Forward.
Prizes included a Jules B diffuser, Cloud Nine straighteners, £25 Starling Independent voucher, two hours of court time at Surge Padel, a family ticket to Leeds Knights Ice Hockey match, two tickets to Harlow Carr's Glow Event, a Betty's goodie bag, Sophie Allport Kitchen bundle and a £55 voucher for the Inn Collection Group.
