The event took an unusual turn during the evening, as a lady named Judith Bryan who was in the lounge next door when she volunteered to have her hair shaved to help with the proceeds. One of the audience members of the charity event side ran home for a pair of clippers and then went to work on Judith’s hair. Judith’s amazing act of kindness was completely spontaneous and added much excitement and joy to the occasion as well as raising a fantastic extra amount of money of over £200.
