We are delighted to invite you to the first hlwmccombie fashion show in aid of our chosen charity, the Leeds Children's Holiday Camp Association (www.leedstosilverdale.com). We are hoping to raise several thousand pounds at this event so that hlwmccombie can help to send even more disadvantaged Leeds children to Silverdale in Lancashire, for a week of fun in the summer.

Helen Sykes (Fashions) Ltd. of Leeds are generously hosting this charity event for us. Helen Sykes (Fashions) Ltd. is a very well-known Leeds women's and men's fashion house, that has been trading in Leeds for 30 years.

Please visit www.youtube.com/user/HSFClips for a clip of a recent Helen Sykes Fashion show. This will give you a flavour of our event.

The fashion show is being held at the Leeds Marriott Hotel, Trevelyan Square, Leeds. The event will be held in the Ambler Suite, starting at 5.30 pm and the event will finish around 7.00 pm on Thursday 6th May 2010.

Tickets are priced at £15.00 per person which includes a glass of bubbly and nibbles on arrival. Please tell your friends about the fashion show!
