A comedy dining event themed on television’s Only Fools And Horses raised £5,000 for Cancer Research UK.

Only Fools And Three Courses, held at the Hostess Restaurant, Sookholme, was organised by Phil, Sarah and Evie Summerbell and Gary, Tracy and Amelia Betts, all from Mansfield Woodhouse.

A total of 140 family and friends had a three-course meal, centred around Rodney and Del Boy attending Marlene and Boycie’s dinner party. There was a charity raffle and disco.

Actors played Del Boy, Rodney, Uncle Albert, Boycie, Marlene, Trigger, Tony Farino and Raquel, delivering interactive comedy sketches.

Well known iconic scenes from the show were acted out.

Phil Summerbell said: “We would like to stress our gratitude and sincere thanks to everyone who attended the night and helped to make it so successful — especially Geoff and Sue from the Hostess, and our sponsors Mansfield Caravans, LW Autos Electrical Services and BWB Roofing.

“We also thank the many local businesses along with friends and family who donated prizes for the raffle.”

Rebecca Elphick, senior local fundraising manager for Cancer Research UK said: “I thank Phil, Sarah and their family members for organising a fantastic event for the charity and raising so much money. We are privileged to have such fantastic supporters whose fundraising is helping to save lives.”
