Business Professionals Win Money for Charity at 'Casino Royale'
Chester born James Bond, Daniel Craig would have felt at home playing roulette and black jack at a casino event in Chester. The city’s glitterati turned out to raise thousands of pounds for charity at The Groves at Souters Lane near the River Dee.
More than 120 business professionals working in and around the city raised more than £2,000. All the proceeds were donated to Claire House Children’s Hospice.
AMS Business Sales, based in Watergate Street, Chester organised the annual event and the excited gamblers for the night exchanged their donations for fun money. The prize-fund was split between the winning Mr Bond and Ms Bond, winners of the most money on the tables.
Adrian Ward, managing director of AMS who organised the casino evening, said: “The event was lots of fun and most importantly of all a substantial amount of money was raised for charity. We take our business money very seriously as we demonstrate to our clients across the UK when selling their business. AMS has recently celebrated the best financial year yet. Everyone really enjoyed having fun with their “Casino Royale’ money. Thanks to everyone who came to support us.”
Tom Sutcliffe, solicitor at Walker Smith Way: “This Casino night is always the best night of the year.”
The jackpot prize of £1,000 vouchers for the Trafford Centre was won by leading lady Lindsey Cross, of Rensburg Sheppards, who compiled a mammoth total of $610,000 of fun money on the poker tables and the leading man was Paul Richards, of AstraZeneca, who won a total of $406,000. The winners collected their prizes from Adrian Ward (see photos).
Speaking on the night Abi Smith, fundraiser for Claire House, said: “It’s been a wonderful evening. The total raised of more than two thousand pounds means a lot to us at Claire House. We totally rely on public donations, as we don’t receive any government funding. Once again a very big thankyou.”
The event was organised and sponsored by AMS Business Sales, the prizes were sponsored by HSBC Bank, Rensburg Sheppards plc and Walker Smith Way.
Lots of additional amusing photos available!! Donations to Claire House will result in them being destroyed.
