All the captains have selected ‘Little Miracles’ as their charity for the year, which was launched at the lunch following the drive-in.

Little Miracles (www.littlemiraclescharity.org.uk) is a local support facility for children with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses, along with their families. It is based at The Spinney in Westwood and famously built by the BBC’s DIY-SOS and volunteers over nine days back in 2011.

Invited guests were then hosted at a formal dinner in the evening with singer Nicole Lawrence providing the entertainment.
