Big Shindig Ball 2013

We were delighted and proud to once again lend our weight to this fantastic event.

The Big Shindig Ball is an evening of entertainment and fun in aid of The Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres held in memory of Lisa Morrsion. This years event took place at the Winnick Hotel in Drymen and was a huge success raising over £8000 on the night. Organised by Elizabeth Emmerson of Maggies and compared by Gary (Mrs Browns Boys) Hollywood it was a great night providing lots of laughs but all in a great cause. Many congratulations to all involved who gave up their time. Its admirable to see so many talents come together like this.

The Big ShinDig 2012

The Big ShinDig 2012

Its always been a goal for me to involved 1500 Photography in some sort of charitable exercise and use our skills to help raise money for worthy causes. I am delighted and proud to have been able to lend support to this years "Big ShinDig"  in aid of the Maggie Centre Glasgow. A wonderful evenings entertainment was had with compare Gary Hollywood keeping the evening bubbling along brilliantly. A number of fund raising games, auctions and sponsored events raised an amazing total of over £10,000 on the night.

The inspiration for the night was close friend of the organiser, Lisa Morrison. Lisa was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of just 33 and she has bravely battled on with the support of friends, family and the Maggie centre. Probably the most touching and awe inspiring moments on the night was one of Lisa's friends having a 'sponsored head shave' which raised over £2000 on its own!!

I wish there was a happy end to this blog post but unfortunately Lisa lost her battle just shortly after the event. However anyone and everyone who reads this can make a difference, even for as little as £1.

Please text LILI99£ (followed by your amount) to 70070. Any and all donations to the Maggie's Centre will, I'm sure, be gratefully received. Thank you.

Scottish Transport Awards 2009

We were also delighted to attended and photograph this years  Scottish Transport Awards. The awards are to recognise various bodies for their contribution to public transport. As always with such an occasion we arrived nice and early, captured the guests and dignitaries mingling before photographing the tables and award winners.

Master of Ceremonies Grant Stott kept the event running smoothly with a mixture of humour and professionalism and was a huge help to me organising the prize winners for their picture. As usual with 1500 Photography the pictures were ready 9 am the following morning for everyone to pour over.

We offer all the winners on the evening our congratulations and commiserate with the runners up. 1500 Photography
