Return to Liverpool
Comedian John Martin
BIFA Members, their guests and shipping line representatives gathered together at The Liner Hotel, Liverpool, for the reinstated BIFA Liverpool Region Annual Dinner on Friday 30 September. Hosted by Keith Baguley, Chair of the BIFA Liverpool Region, and Rachel Morley, BIFA National Chair, the evening was a great success with almost £6,000 being raised for local charities through the sale of raffle tickets and the auction of donated items, including Liverpool and Everton football tickets. BIFA was honoured to be joined by the Right Honourable, The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, councillor Roy Gladden and the Lady Mayoress, Roz Gladden along with local business representatives. The event was sponsored by Genco Logistics, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk, MCP PLC and Peel Ports Group. Before dinner was served, guests were

entertained by the drum corps of the local Sea Cadets, who have played for us for over 30 years now. After dinner entertainment was provided by
comedian John Martin who drew many a laugh for his observations and witty responses. Proceeds from the night will be distributed to the Sea Cadets, Zoë’s Place Children’s Hospice and Help for Heroes.
Moving from the traditional, pre-COVID-19, late winter date, the BIFA Liverpool Region Dinner has found a new slot in the calendar for the autumn with Friday 6 October having been secured for the 2023 event, once again at The Liner Hotel.
