Gemini FM "In the Pink Day" 19th October 2007


Gemini FM "In the Pink Day" for Breast Cancer Care on 19th October was a great success and enjoyed by all the guests. The weather was kind to us, sunny and dry and guests dressed in pink. Colyton Station and the Tramstop adorned in Breast Cancer Care banners and balloons.

The "In The Pink" party at the Tramway featured an exclusive ride for VIP guests on our very own pink tram, which looked great with its bunting and balloons. The day MAY also be featured on an upcoming ITV1 programme "Saturday Night Divas" which features top female pop acts performing and also highlights fundraising events around the country for Breast Cancer.

Kate the fundraising co-ordinator from Breast Cancer Care travelled from Bristol to attend the party and we would like to thank her for her help and support.

A big thank you to Gemini's Tractor Boy for arranging the party and food and to all members of staff who helped on the day to make it a great success.
