was spotted in Cookham on Saturday 3rd February at the Pinder
Hall, Lower Road at the 5th annual sell-out "Cookham Big
Night Out" - this years theme was "The
Fabulous Fifties"
Pinder Hall was transformed by amazing decorations that evoked the spirit of the period and set the scene for the "Big Night Out`s" best event yet. Teddy boys and Pink Ladies rubbed shoulders with Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando as Cookham rocked (and rolled). |

Over 130 guests enjoyed fantastic food from Malik`s "Some Like It Hot" buffet and danced all night long to the sounds of "Darrel Higham & Enforcers" a rock and roll band that had the whole room up on their feet. A dance team from Burnham called "Live2Jive" showed us how to perfect our moves in true fifties style and we finished the evening off with a disco. A raffle and live auction raised money for Thames Valley Adventure Playground and The Kazi Mingi Foundation - the full amount raised looks likely to be around £3000.
Many thanks to all those who contributed to the success of the evening and book your tickets early for next year's do !
