30th Picture

As this was my last day of the 30 day photography challenge I wanted to go out with a bang!

Shaz and I were invited to the Retail Trust Ball at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane in London, a very prestigious event indeed!

The event was to raise money in aid of all those that work in the retail industry who may be going through hardship.

Spar is affiliated to this charity and that was the reason we were invited.

So anyway, I decided that as this was going to be the last of my 30 day challenge I would try and get on the stage to take a picture of all the audience.

Why? I don’t know I just thought it’d be a good idea.

As some of the most respected names on the high street were there, like Sir Phillip Green (Arcadia); Rob Templeton (Debenhams); Michelle Mone (Ultimo) to name but a few; I knew what I was planning was a bit audacious to say the least.

Anyway, I knew the chances of me ever being invited back were going to be very slim so who dares wins right?

My chance came when the whole audience had to play a game called knife, fork or spoon. The game involved the host Brain Connolly reading out a multiple choice question and the answer was either a knife, a fork or a spoon.

So I cheated!

I waited until the answer was announced before picking up the correct utensil

This got me to the final three and a visit onto the stage. I wasn’t really paying attention to what the quiz involved all I was interested in was taking a picture from the stage.

As you can see my mission was a success

Once that was completed I could relax for the rest of the evening and I spend the entire night getting a little drunk and dancing like an idiot.

Good times
