Leicestershire Burns Supper.

England VIII, Leicestershire & Rutland, held their second Burns Supper at Leicestershire HQ on Saturday 20th January, 2007.  The event was fully booked and, yet again, proved to be a huge success.

Thanks to the fundraising efforts of the organisers £400 was donated to UK COPS by the Blue Knights, with a further £150 being donated by Leicestershire Constabulary.

Congratulations to Alan Morris, President England VIII, his wife Jill, and all the members of England VIII who helped to make this a truly memorable event.

And somehow this one made it into Police Review!

The evening was such a success that, by popular demand, it will be held again next year.  Make a note in your diaries now!  Saturday 26th January, 2008 - be there!
