It was fantastic to see the Walled Garden so full for the SAS Evening last Friday. An excellent three course meal was followed by a fascinating presentation from Robin Horsfall who gave an insight into his long military career, including a detailed account of his role in the 1980 storming of the Iranian embassy by the SAS.
A raffle and charity auction were held and the evening raised around £4,000 to be split between Julia’s House, a children’s hospice in Dorset supported by Robin, and the Captains’ Charity Ben’s Den, which provides seaside holidays for families of children with cancer or leukaemia. A huge thanks to Julian Niblett for organising the evening and for his fantastic efforts in securing donations of prizes for the raffle and silent auction.
