GARIOCH SPORTS CENTRE - TENNIS BALL FUNDRAISER

Now the dust has settled, we have had time to reflect on our amazing Tennis Ball fundraising event from last weekend - Saturday 16th October 2021.

With over 300 in attendance for the evening of entertainment which kicked off with a flawless 3 course meal, followed by quite a brilliant Q&A with our special guest @judymurray_ delivered by our compere for the evening Steven J Innes.

One lucky person on the night won the diamond necklace valued at £1200 kindly donated by our friends at @sinclairsjewellers .  We had an incredible raffle on offer for the evening which was generously supported by individuals and businesses across Inverurie and beyond. These donations and prizes allowed us to sell a huge number of tickets which went towards our fundraising efforts on the night. We are sure some of you woke up very happy with your prizes!

Thank you to our auctioneer Colin Slessor and those who supported the auctions on offer. We managed to raise over £8k from it alone which is quite remarkable. 

Thank you to Alex, Vicki & the team at Thainstone Events, the room looked great and your help in organising helped make the event what it was.

Last but no means least a big thank you to the band on the night @waterfrontband WOW! The dance floor was packed all night. It was amazing to see so many smiles on faces as you danced the night away. 

We are delighted to share with you all that thanks to your support we have raised £20,000 towards our charitable community sports and leisure facilities. This will go towards our ambitions to build a 3-court indoor tennis facility here at the centre. A regionally recognised facility and the first of its kind in Aberdeenshire. 

Thank you to everyone for making the event so special!

To whom it may concern,

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I am writing to recommend Steven J Innes as a professional who, over the last nine years, has provided us with a top quality service.  We at Prime Promotions have worked for numerous corporate clients, creating both themed and un-themed parties and events, which Steven has professionally compered and I hope that our perspective will be helpful with your evaluation of Steven.

I have had the pleasure of a long working relationship with Steven, and time and time again he astounds not only us, but our clients with his ability to be the perfect host for all our events. 

Steven is always well briefed, punctual and immaculately turned out, he is very versatile and is happy to get into character for our themed events by transforming himself into various characters such as Dr Who, Julius Caesar and even a seventies pimp.

I have no hesitation in recommending Steven for any compere position where professionalism, a winning manner and enthusiasm are important.  

If I can be of any further assistance, or provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

On behalf of both the Taste of Grampian Steering Group and Prime Events I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your valuable contribution to Taste of Grampian. 

The day was a great success and we have already received a lot of positive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors alike. Your demonstration with the Two Fat Laddies in the Outdoor Arena was extremely well received, what will we do next year without them? 

Once again thank you for all your hard work, I look forward to working with you again soon.  

Yours sincerely,

Dear Steven, 

On behalf of our clients, I would like to thank you for all your hard work in ensuring the events at which you were the ‘Number 1 Compere’ were a success.

As always the events ran smoothly thanks to your help and professionalism.  I was delighted that you embraced the themes by dressing up once or twice and am looking forward to dreaming up some new costumes for you next year. 

We hoped you enjoyed yourself and thank you once again for all your help in the lead up to and on the evening of each event.

Thank you so much for all your hard work, if I don’t speak to you again before Christmas, I hope you have a lovely time and Santa is good to you.

Yours sincerely

Carol

Morning Steven,

 

I hope you’re well and had a lovely trip back up to Scotland.

 

Firstly, I wanted to say thank you for your amazing work last Wednesday we truly would’ve been lost without you.

 

Please find the requested testimonial below, I attempted to leave one on your website however it appears it’s under construction.

 

Thank you again and I look forward to touching base in the near future.

 

Steven was kind enough to be our master of ceremonies at the Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter Corporate Golf Day held at Close House Golf Course in September 2021. His wealth of knowledge, charm and cheeky humour added a fantastic boost to an already brilliant day. He followed our running order to a tee, was interactive with all attendees and most importantly left all attendees and staff with a smile on their face. 

 

If you are looking for a well organised and spoken MC, with the ability to encourage and engage the crowd Steven Innes is the MC for you.

 

Thank you Steven! We look forward to working with you in the future.

 

Kind Regards,
