performances from two of the contestants from the recent Trust `Stars for A
Night' event � Mo Shine as Elvis Presley, and Simone as herself rather than
Britney Spears.A raffle and buffet were laid on, and then Peter Pike, Chairman
of Clarets Trust (who had dashed across town from another function) received the
donation on behalf of the Trust, and then said a few moving words about the club
we all love.Bev Fairburn said "Everybody enjoyed themselves and I am so pleased
the night was successful and that we raised so much money for Clarets Trust".Dan
Milner, Longside Publishing Team Co-ordinator added "I cannot thank enough,
everyone from the Trust Steering Group and Burnley Football Club, in their
support to us over the past few weeks. Also to all the Admin Team, particularly
Bev, for their hard work. As for Jeff Brown and our guest stars, fantastic!"Phil
Lea, Longside Features Team Co-ordinator concluded by saying "It was a perfect
day, this was the first of many fund raising events we intend to do for Clarets
