'Soul Man' Ben Brierley provided live entertainment for the night singing lots of soul favourites and judging the competition.
The idea was to turn up in the most ill-fitting, gaudy, food stained, old-fashioned shirt you can find and pay £1 to enter the competition - and if yours was the worst on the night you'd win a £50 Ted Baker gift voucher (redeemable at Ted Baker or Ted Baker Woman). People turning up looking nice could find themselves fined £1 and being asked to change into one of a a sepcially provided range of awful shirts!
The result...
£57 was raised for the fund. The winner of the £50 voucher was a Gale Inn regular - Noel (who set off out for the evening without the intention of entering the competition!) But Ben Brierley got things livened up and selected him as the winner as he began the second half of the show.
Some guests (Maxine, Sharon and Zena) provided extra entertainment coming dressed in complete OTT outfits and wigs, not just dodgy shirts. Maxine even started Ben off with the first half of Ben's rendition of Mustang Sally. The tambourine got passed round the pub for the guests to provide the acoustics. The atmosphere was excellent and the night ended all too soon.
