November 2011All of a sudden I find I'm not so single any more....funny how life takes its twists and turns. I have been hit by a bolt from the blue which has turned my world around. Don't panic, not about to get mushy. All you need to know is that I am a very happy girl!It's still been full on with events throughout November, raising money for charity, rewarding achievements in the corporate world and celebrating the lives of young people. Plus there's been a bit of news reporting and filming for ITN.Tilly's Ball right at the end of October raised a fantastic £2500 for the Give Tilly A Hand Appeal. Tilly was 17 months old when she had to have her hands surgically amputated after contracting meningitis. Definitely one of the bravest little girls I have ever met, Tilly was an absolute star at helping me do a game of heads and tails. www.givetillyahand.comThanks to Chris Boundey Photography for letting me use the picture of Tilly and I.The Women into the Network Awards was as ever a great night full of inspiring business women and female entrepreneurs. Julie Drummond from Drummond Central, a strategic marketing, creative and digital agency won best creative business and the main award of the evening, The Susan Dobson Award for Entrepreneurship. www.womenintothenetwork.co.ukHosting Cumbria Community Foundations AGM in West Cumbria was a real pleasure invited guests heard from a range of people who have benefitted from the funds that the Foundation manages. Sir Brian Donnelly, former ambassador for Zimbabwe and Yugoslavia was the guest speaker who is still clearly proud to hail from Workington. www.cumbriafoundation.orgThe Princes Trust Celebrate Success event never fails to move its guests. Held once again at The Sage, 2011 was no different as the success and determination of young people who have overcome all manner of difficulties was celebrated. The video message from HRH Prince Charles is always welcome and former prison inmate Arfan Naseer silenced the audience with his story. Naz has left a life of crime behind to run his own business, Con-SEQUENCE, helping disadvantaged youngsters change their lives through education. www.princes-trust.org.ukAnd then there was also the Acoustic Night for Support Your Bowel in Hartlepool. Tony Larkin, who beat off bowel cancer organises the events which brings amazing musicians and singers to the town's Grand Hotel. Totally sold out, the gig raised enough money to bring the fundraising total to over £80 000 in just over eighteen months. Im looking forward to more dates in 2012. www.supportyourbowel.comBut now I am feeling the pressure as we rush headlong into December and Christmas, although I'm more organised than I think I think. Still, don't be expecting a Christmas card any time soon...I am too busy smiling about the new direction my life is taking.October 2011Life begins at 40 apparently! I'm there then-newly single and 40! Watch out world! I celebrated the big number in style with family and friends. My daughter tells me forty is not old, just twice as good as being twenty. I can live with that I think.It's been an incredibly busy month one way and another. I have hosted lots of award dinners and charity balls and even a conference on asbestos in London. Hosted by North East firm Lucion Environmental, the two day national event covered buildings and shipping and was more entertaining than you might be imagining I promise.One of my favourite nights of the year so far though has to be the Think Pink fundraiser at Rosehill Theatre near Whitehaven. The event raised six thousand pounds for the breast cancer unit at the West Cumberland Infirmary. A full theatre laughed, cried, sang and danced all the way through Mamma Mia.There were no tears but a good few laughs at Tullie House in Carlisle where I was in conversation with broadcaster and writer Eric Robson in front of a live audience. It was organised by the regional division of the Royal Television Society and covered the whole of Erics career. Thank you to those who turned out on a very cold October night and asked some really good questions.Beamish Hall looked stunning the night of Durham Business Group's 30th anniversary award dinner. The theme was Moulin Rouge and featured dancers from Encore Entertainment. The same dance company that provide the dancers for St Oswalds Strictly Come Dine and Dance which was held in February this year and is back in 2012 with a preview night on February 10th, hosted by myself, and the full shebang on February 11th hosted once again by myself and the lovely Steve Walls. For tickets call 0191 246 9123. See the celebrity line-up online at www.stoswaldsuk.org'We' did the FACT - Fighting All Cancers Together Charity Swimathon at Dunston pool. Almost a thousand people took part swimming over eighteen thousand lengths (the distance from Gateshead to Londons Olympic pool) and already we have raised over ten thousand pounds. Were aiming for a pound a length, making eighteen thousand pounds to go towatds the UK's forst cancer support, education and awareness centre. Dave from DLT Photography, FACT's official photographer took the pix. Check them out online at www.dltphotography.co.uk Well known faces included Ian Payne, Simon ORourke, Jeff Brown and the event was led by former Olympic and Commonwealth swimmer Chris Cook....he managed a thousand lengths by himself! You can donate a pound at: www.justgiving.com/FACTSwimathon-KimInglisBut 2011 is far from over and I am hoping for more memorable moments between now and Christmas, not least when Gilly and Kim Let Loose returns to the airwaves for BBC Radio Cumbria on Christmas Eve between 12 and 2pm. Were busy compiling our playlist and deciding who to go and interview for the show at the moment. You can always let us know if you want to hear a certain tune. Just use the contact page on this website.September 2011I played netball in a charity tournament this month. First time I have played in about eighteen years. The flier said: "Remember it is for FUN and for CHARITY". Our scratch BBC team didn't think too much of that being seven somewhat competitive individuals. We had never played as a team before and were a little daunted by some of the opposition - but we won our first game 10 nil. I play centre and spent the day running up and down the court in a most aggressive manner shouting 'down the wing, down the wing'. It was SUCH fun!I got knocked over in the first game and hurt my ankle but like the tough journo that I am, I strapped it up and played on. I ended up taking a trip to casualty two days later though. Thank goodness it turned out just to be a bad sprain. I almost kissed the doctor when he told me the x-rays were clear. We raised over £600 for St Oswald's Hospice though so it all turned out just fine. Did I mention we won our group and were only just beaten in the final due to an injury on the other team.For a non contact sport it was a pretty rough day though. We saw the ambulance turn up several times to deal with some serious injuries including a ruptured achilles tendon and a broken leg. There were also bruised faces, dislocated fingers and a host of general bumps and scratches and sprains. I can't wait until next year. Just don't tell my Mum I said that!My other big event was also for charity but all I had to do was sit on my bum. FACT organised a Harley Davidson ride-out to nine of the regions hospitals to raise the profile of the work it does in Fighting All Cancers Together. There were thirty four bikes and Olympic and Commonwealth Swimmer Chris Cook and North East Tonight presenter Ian Payne were also along for the ride.Kitted out in leather with our FACT t-shirts over the top we didn't look cool but we were warm! Thank you to everyone who beeped and hollered and supported us that Sunday as we toured from Gateshead to Wearside, North and South Tyneside, Durham, Northumberland and the centre of Newcastle. Thanks also to all our Harley bikers including my chauffeur Mick who scared, thrilled and amused me in equal measure. Nice music too! Sign up for FACTs charity swim at Dunston on October 11th www.fact-cancersupport.co.uk See you there!
