Clare throws a boat party for charity

FRODSHAM businesswoman Clare Collins-Doyle certainly knows how to throw a good party!
She organised a boat party for 100 guests on the River Dee at Chester – all in the name of charity.
The party-goers were collected by coach and taken to the  Lady Diana boat in Chester where they cruised and partied in glorious sunshine. There was Zumba dancing, a live band, a raffle and lots of fun on board. More than £1,000 was raised for two good causes -Frodsham Manor House Primary School and the Alzheimer’s Society.
Clare presented the school with a cheque for £600.
Head teacher Ian Devereux-Roberts said: “”This donation was very warmly received as we are currently raising £30,000 for a new multi-purpose games area.”
Clare said “It’s the third boat party that I have held – they are always very popular and this was definitely the best yet. Everyone had such a fun day, and I had wonderful support from local Zumba teachers Nikki and Hannah, local band Phoenix and friends old and new.
“I’m absolutely delighted with the sum raised, and my two chosen charities are very dear to me and I know will invest the money
well.
“I would urge any parents, friends of schools and local businesses to support our local schools – they need and appreciate our support – and our local children are our future, so a very worthy investment”.
