An event hosted by three Shifnal restaurants proved huge success. The Shifnal Supper Club, which saw diners moving between venues for each course, was attended by 90 people and also boosted a local charity.
The brainchild of Chris Jordan of Christopher’s and supported by Love Shifnal, who organised the logistics and tickets, the evening raised a total of £400 for the Shifnal Shockers who provide and upkeep defibrillators around the town.
“This is the first time we have organised such an event in the town and we were delighted with the response – it was a sell-out success,” said Sally Themans of Love Shifnal, who explained that the supper was hosted by Christopher’s, Number 5 and Radici restaurants.
Bob Preston who attended commented: “Thank you so much for The Supper Club. What a great event! Look forward to the next one.”
Over the last nine years the Shifnal Shockers group have worked hard to fundraise to ensure the town has a good resource of defibrillators. Jon Sharrock, who heads the group, said: “To date all 11 lifesaving devices have all been deployed, some multiple times, and they cost around £1,000 a year to maintain.”
Defibrators can be found at the War Memorial Club, the Cricket, Tennis and Bowling club, the Scout & Guide HQ, Reds Bar, Park House, the Library, Shifnal Village Hall, the railway toilet block, St Andrews Youth Club, Wadlow Drive and Elm Close.
