twestival local - Tweet.Meet.Give. - March 24, 2011

We raised £111.09

Thank you to everyone who came down. Though we were small in number, every little helps and we put Belfast on the "map" as one of over 150 cities to take part this year!

The money is being given to Aware NI who do great work to support all those in Northern Ireland affected by depression or bipolar disorder (manic depression).

Thank you to all those who helped us make it an enjoyable evening: To Caoimhe for taking money at the door, Scott Flanigan, Skip for music and Marty for DJing.

Huge thanks to Davy for our logo and securing the venue. The Belfast City Council for the venue, the Ulster Hall for helping us out, and the Grand Dame for the excellent food and drinks; and for UTV who paid for the food! And to Bakingbar for the delivious cupcakes and cookies.

And finally, thank you to all the local businesses who donated prizes!
Again, thanks to those who where there, it was a great night! 
If you couldn't make it, you can still donate through Just Giving.
