Priory Prom

Lucky Penny has been busy this summer with weddings - as well as ferrying excited teenagers around in good time for their school proms.

Community-minded Kate explains: "Earlier this month, Penny and I were thrilled to be asked to The Priory School Year 13 Prom, held at Offley Place.

"Penny and a truly stunning 1968 Jaguar provided a unique photo opportunity for the glamorous young people celebrating the end of their schooling at the wonderful Priory."

Kate and Lucky Penny of course - are delighted to be a sponsor for the Samarivans project.

"This is a very exciting Art auction being run by the ever talented Sarah Graham," Kate explains. 

Lucky Penny Weddings is one of the sponsors for Sarah Graham's up and coming art auction. 

Over 100 artists and celebrities are busy creating campervan pictures ready for a grand auction in September to raise money for the Samaritans. A charity very close to Sarah's Graham's heart.

"Charity fundraising is very important to me," says big-hearted Kate proudly, "so when the Prom committee asked if they could make a donation for my time I instantly knew who the money should go to.

"So. I would like to say a huge thank you to the students of The Priory School for their donation to The Samarivans project. 

"Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting news to come on Sarah's Samarivans project." 

"Also I got to meet Matthew Finch, who is looking to start a wedding car business with his fascinating Jaguar," added Kate with a smile.

Along with Penny last week was Matthew Finches' breathtaking 1968 Jaguar. "My dream car! Just don't tell Penny!" says cheeky Kate.

Kate explains that Matthew's stylish car is steeped in a fascinating history. Having belonged to Matts Dad, it underwent a full restoration bringing it back to its former glory.

This stunning vehicle has featured on television several times and is beginning its new life as a wedding car!

"I think Penny and the Jaguar make a winning team," says Kate with a wink.
