BNI Chichester Festival

A referral from John Dunt, JD Fire and Security Ltd, back in the summer led to Sparks holding its first gala evening in the South East at The Indigo Restaurant in Worthing. Dinner was prepared by ex Executive Chef of the Ritz, David Miller and his son Ben, who is currently Head Chef of The Indigo.

The guests were treated to a wonderful 7-course meal, based on the celebrated ‘Ritz’ menu and Sparks Ambassador, John Altman aka ‘Nasty’ Nick Cotton was on hand to represent the charity.

Sparks would like to thank Simon Margaroli, Director of Ardington Hotel and his team for all their vision and enthusiasm in organising the evening.

A script donated by John Altman was auctioned, but only after, both John and the auctioneer Ian Hart acted out John’s final EastEnder’s scene. The evening raised an amazing £4,500. John also took time to thank Tony Hedger, (pictured) A&T Business Associates who sponsored the Sparks International Birdman.

Also enjoying the evening was a new Sparks ambassador, Sue Atkins, coach and author of ‘Raising Happy Children For Dummies.’ Sue is often found on the BBC Breakfast sofa commenting on child issues.
