Good night out

GOOD music, good company and good food kept the crowd entertained on Saturday night for A Night On The Cooch.

About 250 people packed into Cartwright Pavilion for the show to raise money for Naracoorte's CT Scan Project.

The group Friends With Benefits organised the show and its members were delighted with how the night went according to Robyn Norman.

"It was wonderful," she told the Herald. "It was a great night."

The show was initially planned to be held in the open at the showgrounds but was moved into Cartwright Pavilion due to concerns about the weather, which Mrs Norman said was well received.

"It was beautiful inside the pavilion," she remarked.

The crowd was entertained by The Flaming Sambuccas and crowd favourite Mickey's Disco, who played to the crowd brilliantly with hits from the 70s onwards.

"The Sambuccas were fabulous," Mrs Norman said.

"And once again Scott (McBain), Shane (Francis) and David (Hansford) were amazing."

Mrs Norman, on behalf of Friends With Benefits, thanked all involved - including those who sponsored the event, who donated and the service groups who provided catering.

The total proceeds, estimated to top $10,000, are still being counted up but the raffle on the night raised $579 and the silent auction - both made possible with donated goods - raised $1300.

Such was the success of the night, people have already contacted Friends With Benefits about the next instalment, after a similar event was successfully held last year..

"For the next one - please stay tuned," Mrs Norman concluded.
