The charities which have benefited from the money are Clic Sargent Scotland, Neves Charities, Boots for Africa and Buckley Town FC in the Community.

We have so many people to thank who played a pivotal role in putting the event together, promoting or providing raffle and auction prizes, so a big thank you to Randstad Staffing Solutions for being the Dragons main Sponsor.

Also to Speaks Volumes, The Quay Hotel, Clear Reality, Recognition Express, Powlsons Printers, The Ayrshire Outsiders, Sheffield Football Club, Buckley Town Football Club and last but by no means least, the amazing Event Organisers that are Ysbryd-y-Ddraig.

Inner Frame would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with the North Wales Dragons, particularly the players who collectively raised £1187.00 for Neves Charities.

We have now held three events raising money for charity and to date we have amassed a sum of over £10,000.00.

Turning our attention to the next event, we look forward to raising money for Cancer Reasearch UK’s ” Join the Fight ” against breast cancer. For further details please have a look at our North Wales Dragons page.

Inner Frame are extremely grateful to England Hockey for allowing us to be involved in a project such as the 1908 Business Club.

The layout was subsequently framed and will form part of a ‘Items that money cant buy’ auction in aid of Help for Heroes at a forthcoming black tie event, to be held at Chester Racecourse on Saturday 17th September 2011.

As Help for Heroes is a charity that we support wherever we can, we waived all our costs for creating and producing this unique one off item.

We would sincerely like to thank Kate Dawson of Chester Races for allowing us the opportunity to be involved, raising money for such a fantastic cause.

Chris James of Team ES Racing at Oulton Park

Inner Frame were recently commissioned by charity fundraising football team the North Wales Dragons to provide a plaque to present to Team ES Racing who presently race within the MSA Dunlop British Touring Car Championship.

Team ES Racing were kind enough to provide space on their car, number 78, driven by Chris James, for a certain number of charities to advertise their logos on the car, instead of the normal commercial sponsorship space that is normally utilised on touring cars.

As a token of gratitude, the Dragons presented ES Racing with a plaque.

With their guide, they visited one of the local schools near the Capital, Banjul, and donated books and pens for the children to use.

From the feedback we have received, the teachers and the school children were thrilled and extremely grateful for the donation which of course gives us great satisfaction that we have made a slight difference and also put some smiles on a few faces.

The Teachers and Schoolchildren Gathered Together

We also took the opportunity to explain to the teachers about the fabulous work that Sheffield Football Club do with the Boots for Africa Appeal and how they, together with a little input from ourselves, have gathered a number of second hand football boots together and sent them to the African Nations including Gambia.

The Dragons lost 4-3 in which was an enjoyable and closely contested game.

We are extremely thankful to both Tranmere Rovers and to Total Tranmere as they have assisted in promoting Inner Frames’ involvement in the Boots for Africa Appeal wherever they can. Most recently they invited us on to their podcast to talk about some of the work that Inner Frame and the North Wales Dragons have been doing in conjunction with the appeal.

You can listen to an excerpt from the podcast here.

Roy Evans & Gerard Houllier

A long relationship with the club saw him serving under five illustrious managers which included Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Graham Souness and Kenny Dalglish, he was then elevated to manager in 1994, finally resigning in 1999 after a brief spell working alongside Gerrard Houllier.

During his reign as Manager, he was responsible for providing first team opportunities to Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen.

He added players to his squad such as John Scales, Phil Babb, Patrick Berger, Paul Ince and Karlheinze Riedle but also made headlines by paying a British record fee for Nottingham Forest striker Stan Collymore.

This will be an evening not to be missed considering the many high profile sporting names Roy has been involved with. As this will be a Q & A session, we know that he will be more than happy to answer as many of your questions as he can on the night.

To avoid disappointment, early booking is recommended. You can purchase your tickets from us here at Inner Frame by email:- chris@innerframe.co.uk or tel:- 017840 318231.
