Firstly thank you thank you thank you, for staying in to play
It’s not the normal Christmas do, but we’ll do it our own way.
What a very strange year, no live networking or schmoozing
But at least we still can do it, with a little bit of boozing.
We wanted a chance to bring the business community together
Showing we can all get through, any type of weather.
As years go this one, has certainly been tough
Some ups, many downs but one thing’s true, when times get really rough
The Sussex community business wise, really are quite brilliant
Pulling together, carrying on, but most of all resilient
It’s hit us hard, this COVID thing with new rules every day
Masks, distancing, washing hands, no chance of getaways.
But we are still here, it won’t break us, and here’s a chance to make
A great night in, with fun and games, so don’t make the mistake
Of thinking this is another zoom call with no fun
Put your phone down, stop, engage, and stay till we are done.
By way of introduction, I’m Sam from CBC
And from Network my Club we have my good friend Bradley joining me.
You can tell the best looking one out of him and me
One like James Bond, the other like Stavros Flatley.
Anyway, enough about us, look at all you gorgeous people here tonight,
I’m so grateful you are here, and I have you all in sight.
On a slightly more serious note, the main reason we are here
Is for Rockinghorse charity, one my heart holds dear
More than ever this special charity needs local support
With finance and visibility, so let’s not come up short.
Those that know me are aware, that I think this charity’s amazing
And I don’t think I will ever stop my continual praising
Of the work they do and hope they give to those in desperation,
We can all assist them tonight by making a donation
A personal plea from me to you – the charity helped save my son
I’m not sure, without their support, I’d even still have one.
My son Luca, one of my twins, was born so very ill,
There was a point he might not make it, and time truly stood still
The moments in that hospital will never leave my mind
The tests and wires and prayers all horrifically combined,
To make the threat of losing him one I just could not contemplate,
Forgive me I really don’t want to open the floodgates.
Long story short, the doctors and equipment was mostly funded
By Rockinghorse, and so we watched how astonishingly well my son did.
Against all odds he came right through to see the other side
Unlike me and his Mum, he took it all in his stride.
So there it is, my reason for arranging this event
I can assure you, money for Rockinghorse is very very well spent.
So without further ado, let’s get on with enjoying tonight,
I mean that truly and genuinely, I’m not just being polite.
I’m truly humbled to have each of you here, I mean that 100%
I hope you have a great time, at this new unique event.
The votes are in, the winners are already pencilled on the board,
So enjoy yourselves, celebrate each other, at the Virtual Business Awards.
