NESTON CRICKET CLUB MARQUEE WEEK 2017 Cricket legend Michael Vaughan was the guest speaker at the recent Neston Sporting Lunch, with comedian Mark Dolan providing the entertainment. Club President Tony Bush, welcomed the 600 guests and introduced them to five junior representatives of each sport played at Neston, which the lunch was raising funds for and highlighting The Shrimp Appeal, which assists young, local, talented girls and boys to be members and receive coaching for free. Michael Vaughan then did a Q&A, which of course covered the famous Ashes victory and post celebrations with Freddie Flintoff of 2005! General Manager Craig Stubbs, Assistant Manager Kat Hussey and Bar Manager Nick Morrison served Laurent Perrier Champagne and Liverpool Gin to the guests during the three course meal served by Cheeky Chilli - they all worked very hard on the day and into the night to make it such a memorable and successful event. The Main Sponsor, Intellectual Property experts Forrester’s and Associate Sponsors Mitchell Group – Lexus, Mazda and Skoda, Philip Bates, Chartered Accountants all had a great day with their guests. The following night The Parkgate Proms, sponsored by Lees Solicitors, had 400 guests entertained by L’Orchestra Dell’ Arte, with conductor Edward Peak, Tenor Nicholas Hardy and the 32 piece orchestra playing us around the world with their music. The next day Neston hosted The Summer Ball, sponsored by Eden Luxury Travel and 350 guests danced the night away after a three course meal by Cheeky Chilli, who over the weekend did 1100 covers from a small tent, one end of the bigger and lighter marquee.
