In the dull period between Christmas and New Year, Louth YFC had decided to brighten things up with a YFC edition of 'Take me out". With 18 stunning single ladies, 4 very keen gentleman and of course not forgetting Ed Hanson, our very own Paddy Mcguinness, it was definitely set to be a very entertaining and good night.
The night attracted huge crowds and was very successful in raising almost £2000 for Dementia UK. A huge well done to Louth YFC. Thanks to everyone who supported the event.
Fortunately, all 4 of our single lads managed to whisk away a lovely lady for a cute date. I have to say it was very well deserved after the huge amount of effort that was put into the videos, entertainment and generally making themselves look dapper for the evening.
Here is what one of the fine gentleman had to say about the night:
"So the night had come to appear as a single lad on Louth YFC 'Take Me Out'. I was dressed in my best suit and wearing my best aftershave! I would be lying if I wasn't nervous (walking out into a crowd of 100+ people) but I was fairly calm. I was kept in the kitchen for about an hour to keep the whole thing a surprise and then got called up to walk down the love isle, my song choice for walking down the love isle was 'Are you going to be my girl' by Jet.
So the next thing I know, I was in front of everyone on the stage being interrogated by the single girls. They then watched a video about me (mostly about the Kia) which I had made for the event. Some lights went out and that was it. Then I did a bit of dancing, something I am fairly good at and also for everyone's entertainment. I then had 2 lights left on, and asked the girls 'What is your favourite holiday destination?' And then picked a date.
While the raffle was being drawn, we had a date backstage (munching on the finest Walkers prawn cocktail crisps) and enjoying some Buck's Fizz and getting to know each other a little better. (Proper date still has to be arranged, sadly no Isle of Fernando’s)
A very enjoyable night has had by all and not forgetting the amount Louth YFC made for Dementia UK. "Shaun Underhill
