Burlesque Charity Event at Bistro L!VE raises £1500 for the NSPCC

A charity burlesque event on Thursday 16th April, organised by Berni Mehan and Katie Bond, Restaurant Manager of Bistro L!VE Nottingham, has raised a fantastic £1500 for the children's charity NSPCC.

The night was a complete sell out with 300 guests arriving at Bistro L!VE to watch 23 dancers show off 4 burlesque style routines. Berni Mehan, said 'none of the ladies have ever had any dance training or stepped foot on a stage before and they were all very nervous! They all enjoyed their performances and were on a real high at the end of the night, saying that they couldn't wait for the next show to do it all again!’ The Restaurant Manager of Bistro L!VE Nottingham, Katie Bond, commented 'the burlesque charity event was a great success and Bistro L!VE were more than happy to help organise something that raised so much for charity.'

Will you marry me?

It was the easiest quiz question Jemma Thompson had ever been asked.

Jemma came to the Bistro Live Fun Pub Quiz in April when boyfriend of three years, Baz, went up on stage to ask her a bonus question for a bottle of champagne.

He called her on stage, but instead of reading from the quiz card, he got down on one knee and asked: “Will you marry me?” Stunned Jemma was overcome with tears, but did not have to think about the answer – or make an educated guess. In a recent interview by the Leicester Mercury, the 23-year-old said: “I was just so shocked. I was thinking I couldn’t believe he’d done that. “Then I cried and I went to kiss him and said, ‘Yes’.”

Baz had contacted the Bistro Live Leicester team earlier in March and expressed his interest in doing a dramatic proposal, he said: “I knew it would be something Jemma would remember.  “After the main quiz had finished, the quiz master picked me and got me on stage to ask one of my team mates a bonus question, so I asked Jemma up. “She came up on stage thinking I was going to ask the question on the card in the envelope I had. “But instead, I told her how much I loved her and everything, then dropped to one knee and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ “The place erupted. Her hands went up to her face and she was really tearful and happy…”

So Jemma may not have won the Bistro Live Fun Pub Quiz prize but she definitely left with a smile from ear to ear! Congratulations to the couple and we will see you Jemma for your Hen Night!!

BISTRO L!VE AIM TO GENERATE £100,000 FOR SCHOOLS

Live music restaurant chain Bistro L!VE have launched an initiative that they hope will raise £100,000 for local schools, over the next 12 months.

The project is designed as a joint venture between the Parent Teacher Association (P.T.A.) of a school, who are the body responsible for fundraising, and Bistro L!VE.

The idea works like this: -
· Bistro L!VE will (in conjunction with the school) put on a night dedicated solely to raising funds for that school.
· With the help and guidance of Bistro L!VE, the P.T.A. will sell tickets for this night to all of the ‘stakeholders’ in the school, (Parents/teachers), and also to local companies.
· A proportion of the ticket income will go directly to the P.T.A./School – the more people that attend, the more income raised for the school.
· THE AIM IS TO RAISE A MINIMUM OF £1000.00 FOR EACH SCHOOL THAT TAKES PART.
· The individual P.T.A.’/schools will determine how the funds raised are spent.

The idea was the brainchild of Bistro L!VE directors Mark Henderson and Fred Harlow, following a fundraising event where Bistro L!VE raised over £5,000 for a former employee, whose daughter had been suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Fred Harlow said “The night was a tremendous success. It demonstrated to us that we had an excellent ‘vehicle’ in Bistro L!VE, to enable us to help other people to raise funds.”

Mark Henderson said. “We are looking to work with between 50 and 100 schools over the next 12 months, so that we can achieve our aim of raising £100,000 to help schools to fund special projects. As a governor at my son’s school, I understand just how difficult it is fund new ideas - we hope this new initiative will help many schools generate much needed cash.

And, the best part of it is that everyone gets to have a great night out, whilst at the same time raising money. “
Any school that is interested in taking part will receive a full information pack to help them to sell the night including template letters for parents and companies, and posters to promote the night.
