O Team Gemma and Chrissie do the 'O' with The StigLast night, we launched the new BMW 5 Series at Newcastle’s Fawdington dealership by transforming the show room into a glitzy and glamorous venue.
We saw some fantastic catwalk fashion by Fenwick, sampled some amazing cocktails and enjoyed an unbelievable taste sensation thanks to the canapés by Terry Laybourne (who was actually hands on, in his whites behind the scenes!).
After dancing away to the soulful sound of The Crosby Brothers’ band, we got very competitive on the Top Gear style simulators.
Even the Stig turned up to mingle with the guests and of course, we got snapped with him ‘loving the O’!
Hosted by Kim Inglis, the charity auction and generosity of guests raised almost £4000 for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation – a cause that is close to many of our hearts. We were fortunate enough to welcome Sir Bobby’s son, Andrew Robson, on stage who said a few words about working full time with the charity in place of his late Father.
The generous donations for the auction came from sponsors including M Steel Cycles, Cafe 21, Richard Sinton’s Jewellers, Jesmond Dene House, Close House, Fenwick, Bodyguards and, of course, Fawdington BMW.
The evening was a great success and it just goes to show that with a little creativity and hard work you can convert a busy car show room into a top class event.
