Club Success - The recent Wild Wild West night at The Junction was a great success with around 300 showing up in their cowboy/girl outfits, there were a few Mexicans too and one or two Native American Indians. Through the sale of our new Funky T-shirts and Dreamcatchers CDs we also made a little money to put back into providing FREE services to our Funky club members.

Fundraisers The Rotaract Fundraiser at The Box Tree (behind the Grafton Centre, Cambridge) was due to feature three bands including Dreamcatchers. Unfortunately due to circumstances outside Funky's control this has had to be scaled down to a Games only night so do still come along and help Rotaract raise money for the Funky Flamingo project.
The next Funky Fundraiser will be a sponsored walk in June. If you'd be interested in walking to raise money for Funky Flamingo please call us on the new HOTLINE number01223 864515
