Sacred Heart Primary School in Penicuik has big plans for a new outdoor play area. It will cost £10,000 and the Parent Council are organising a major fund-raising event this summer and they are particularly excited to have secured Edinburgh entertainer Craig McMurdo for the evening.
Grand Midsummer Ball, starring the wonderful Craig McMurdo in cabaret
Cameron Mackintosh who brought us ‘Les Miserables’, ‘Miss Saigon’, ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and many more musicals said of Craig – ‘a night to remember … a joy to work with…’
Walt Disney Theatrical (UK) Ltd said of his show – ‘great atmosphere … the perfect playlist … guests were thrilled … it was terrific!’
Name a prestigious venue in Britain and abroad and he has appeared there – from the Waldorf Hotel in London to the Madinat Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai.
He has sung for Prince Charles, the late Paul Newman, Air France, Saatchi & Saatchi, Danielle Steele, Kwik Fit, American Airlines and many, many more. You can listen to some of Craig’s music here. craigmcmurdo
Now, thanks to powerful persuasion and the promise of cupcakes, he is coming to the Craigiebield Hotel, Penicuik for one night only to help us fund-raise for OUR CHILDREN AND OUR SCHOOL FACILITIES.
This event, to include a four-course dinner with aperitif and wine will take place on Thursday, 30th June 2011. Guests will be seated at tables of eight with tickets costing £35 each. Dress – formal (dinner jacket, kilt, evening wear for men; evening or cocktail dress for ladies***)
An array of raffle and auction prizes has already begun to come in – from a free car service to corporate hospitality at a Scottish Premier League football ground. If you know you can help add to this list, please contact Audrey, Colena or the school.
Tickets are limited in number. We will be releasing the first tranche directly after the Easter Holidays to school parents only. You may buy as many tickets as you wish and pay a deposit of £15 per ticket to secure them. Once this short release of tickets is over they will be offered to the parish, community and wider public.
PLEASE HELP! WE HOPE TO RAISE … £10,000 … TO MAKE OUR PLAYGROUND AND OUTDOOR RESOURCES AMAZING.
*** No evening dress? Don’t worry! Ladies’ dress exchange to be arranged nearer the date ***
