GIRL AND DEAN fundraiser

Last night saw Friargate Theatre in York hosting the last in the series of fundraising events raising money to fund the visit by the six Palestinians who arrive in the UK on Wednesday and will be attending the Riding Lights Summer School from 2-9 August.

This was the second performance by comedy duo Girl and Dean to raise money for this cause and this time they brought us their hilarious new show, stopping off in York on their way north to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They will be performing there in the Cellar at the Pleasance from 3.30-4.30pm most afternoons.

The fundraiser has raised about £400 towards the costs of the visit. Many thanks to those who came along and supported the event and to Sarah Dean (ex Riding Lights Roughshod Administrator) and Jess Ransom (who together are Girl and Dean) for making it possible. Our best wishes go to them as they stumble across Edinburgh later today with what are possibly the heaviest rucksacks in the world!
