A great night was held in Yateley on Saturday 16th when 80+ supporters were royally entertained by Andy McConnell.
Andy, who has enjoyed a rich and varied life, is the glass specialist on the BBC’s ever-popular Antiques Roadshow.
With a glass of wine and refreshments in hand, the audience heard tales of Andy’s career, ranging from rock journalism in the USA to his current role with the BBC. In addition, Andy evaluated glassware bought in by those assembled, including an unique Lalique brooch.

The very good news is that the night raised a superb £1300 for the fund and we are hugely grateful to Andy for his time and entertainment and of course all those who supported the event.
Fundraising events such as this and sponsorship are the lifeblood of our efforts in Liberia and would not be a success without your support, our volunteers and generous contributions such as Andy’s.
