Organised by two dedicated staff members &ndash; Miss Gomez and Mr Lunch &ndash; the event was enjoyed by the whole school and was extremely successful, raising over &pound;400, with a staff member being auctioned off for more than &pound;70 to a competitive pupil. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The lucky few bidders who helped the charity by splashing their cash at the event will get the chance to be waited on hand-and-foot for the day on Friday 2 December by their Butlers, who include Mrs Burnett-Ward, Mr Buckley, and pupils Alex Cawthorne and Gwilym Wyn-Jones. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Mr Lunch and Miss Gomez decided on raising money for Cancer Research as both have been closely affected by the illness which destroys so many peoples&rsquo; lives.
