Sailors Familes Society Sportsman's Lunch.

On Friday the 3rd of October Spring Estate Agents where invited by Williamsons Solicitors to attend the Sailors' Families' Society Sportsman's Lunch at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel in Willerby.

This annal event was generously sponsored by Williamsons Solicitors and the guest speaker, Mr Ian Robertson, BBC rugby correspondent, was sponsored by NatWest.

The Sailors Family Society’s purpose is to help Seafarers children who are in full-time education and the families are in severe financial difficulties. The majority of the families we support are single parent. However we do support two parent families where one of the parents is too ill or disabled to work and the other acts as the carer. The Society currently supports over 450 children whose families have served in the fishing fleets or the Royal or Merchant Navies.

The event was very well supported by over 400 local business people and they all enjoyed an excellent three course meal, which was followed by guest speaker, Mr Ian Robertson and the hilarious charity auction & raffle. In total the event raised over £20,000 for the society and a fantastic afternoon was had by all.
