For One Night
Only - Jazz Evening at Durham University - February 2006
Welcome
to For One Night Only ...
We are delighted that For One Night Only is kindly supporting SCCWID.
We know that the committee have put a lot of effort into making tonight
really special and we would like to thank them all for it. We want you
to enjoy the evening and we would like to thank you for your generosity.
Every little penny counts towards our pledged project.
We are currently raising funds for The New Children's Hospital at The
John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, which opens in January 2007. This hospital
will be a state of the art children's hospital, which will support a huge
catchment area and be a centre of excellence. We have pledged to raise
£250,000 by the end of this year. We have so fair faised £150,000
for this project so have the challend of raising £100,000 in the
next 12 months. Your support tonight will be such a help towards achieving
the goal.
Thank you for all your efforts in raising money and have a fantastic
evening.
With best wishes
Selina Watson, SCCWID

Giants of Jazz Perform at Stowe - 2002
STOWE BULLETIN
The
And all that Jazz charity event, organised at Stowe by fifteen
Sixth Form students 'went perfectly' according to the two chairmen, Alex
Perry and Christian Roe. The enterprise began last February, and gradually
increased in size and endeavour until the 21st September, when over 200
guests came to the State Rooms of the school to experience the results
of the huge amount of effort and time that had been put in. The Marble
Hall and two side rooms had been transformed into 1940's Jazz Clubs, with
effective lighting, drapes and decorations, where George Melly (Cobham
44) and Humphrey Lyttelton played with their bands to a welcoming audience.
The evening ran superbly,
evident by the quality of the catering, the entertainment and the overall
response, all of this being quietly overseen by John Moule, Housemaster
of Walpole.
With a charity auction
and raffle, an astounding sum was raised, in excess of £20,000.
The sum will be divided between two charities cloesly identified with
the School; SCCWID, a fund raiser founded by Sophie Watson, an Old Stoic
who died of cancer in 2000, devoted to raising money for children's wards,
and the Stowe School Foundation. With two such causes, the Stowe Jazz
Committee felt that all the effort had been more than worthwhile. The
guests thought the same.
