Byte Night North East 2017 · 6 October 2017 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The team are:
Jeanette Beresford – renowned for her luxurious lifestyle, Jeanette will be putting her diamonds in the safe for the night but will still be wrapped up in a Hermes scarf or two.
Louise Blais - This is nothing to a hardy Canadian. But then again does the hyper active Louise ever sleep? We'll find out!
Mike Riches – “If anyone is setting up a book on how long Mike will last, I’ll have a tonne on ‘first whinge by 9’, ‘huffy by 11’ and ‘booked into a hotel by midnight’” – Mrs. Hayley Riches (wife). It’s safe to say Mike will well and truly be outside his comfort zone come the 6th.
Camilla Gorick – with her goose feathered pillows, 300 thread count Egyptian cotton bedsheets and silk pyjamas, Camilla will be swapping her usual set up for a ground sheet and sleeping bag – good luck!
Alex Riley – known as “at one with nature”, Alex will be right at home sleeping out.
Jessica Lockett – with Jess being a Yorkshire lass through and through she deserves support for venturing across “the border” to sleep out.
Carla Smith – rock chick Carla, will be giving up her usual Friday night of drinking cocktails to slum it and sleep rough, no Carla we don't mean "down The Big Market".
Thank you everyone, we all appreciate your support, to give you some background on the charity and Byte Night please read on.....
