Weekend Update

This weekend proved to be a remarkable one.On Saturday the function at the bradford completely blew us away.It was a fantastic turn out and more importantly all those who attended behaved themselves with absolutely no incidents that can sometimes happen when you get so many people in the one place many of whom effected by alcohol.It was a very cheerful atmosphere with so many people showing their generosity in many different ways.There are so many people to thank for their contribution to a fantastic day but I'd like to make special mention to Dan and Karen Quinn as well as a lovely lady named Vicki Gamble who up until yesterday was unknown to all of us.She'd heard about Kallan through mutual friends of the Quinn's and just wanted to help out and be part of the day.She obtained numerous items for the auction and along with Dan managed to put together a great collection of items to be auctioned and raffled off.Of course none of it would've been possible had it not been for Mick Quinn and the people at the Bradford who provided a great facility for the day to take place.It was quite overwhelming to see the amount of people who attended and the mountains of well wishes that were forthcoming throughout the day.

I never like to single people out but i just have to pay a special thanks to Dan because i know how much he put in to the day.Don't let the muscles and bent nose fool you,he really is a big softy and a kind hearted guy to boot.He's always thought the world of Kal and has been busting to do something for him and with the help of others pulled off a magic day.Thanks again to all who contributed and i can tell you just attending meant the world to us.Cheers everyone.

Hi kal, Sorry we didn't make it to the Braford we were resting after our long trip home. Hope you had a great time it sounds like you did. Well what about those fantastic tigers i must admit i had them gone in the first half, Samuel was jumping for joy but the fat lady hadn't sang yet what a great comeback. Samuel wasn't impressed chucking a mental outside while Matthew and myself chanted tigers tigers tigers , which made Samuel even worse. From The procters

It was a magic day and I too was blown away with the number of well wishes there was at the Bradford. I guess I should have learned by now not to be surprised by the generosity of all of your friends, it was truly heartwarming.

It was also good to see Nanny T back home from America. It was a great effort for her to attend the day, as she had only arrived back that morning - I bet she crashed when she got to bed that night.
Welcome home.

Love as always
Nanny Carol

I am so glad that the day was a success for you all. It is so nice to see people, other than family, rally together for such a great reason. It is truely appreicated. I am really disappointed that the Wyborn's couldn't make it on the day - a prior comittment made us unavailable, but we were there in spirit. Love you all - Wyborn's.
