Costume Winner styles Mr Sparsis for Worthing Birdman

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Andy Sparsis and Tessa Beck, Birdman Competition Winner

More than 30 youngsters rose to the challenge to come up with creative and colourful costume designs during their stay at Worthing Hospital’s children’s ward. Andrew Sparsis, owner of Proto Restaurant Group came up with the idea for the children to design a costume for him for when he jumps at the Birdman on Sunday 15th August.

The winning costume designed by eight year old Tessa Beck, was a cheerleader costume from the blockbuster movie, High School Musical. Mr Sparsis is now in the process of having a cheerleader costume made to his size along with a wig and pom poms which he plans to wear when he takes part in the Birdman competition in aid of the Love your Hospitals charity.

Mr Sparsis said he is really looking forward to doing the jump this year as for the last two years he has helped out with other teams, so he is hoping to get a lot of support from doing the jump. Mr Sparsis hopes to raise £2000 for the Love your Hospitals Charity which supports both Worthing and Southlands Hospitals and St Richard’s in Chichester”.

So come on everyone, dig deep and support Mr Sparsis in Birdman! Click here NOW to go to his Just Giving Page.

In the meantime, don’t forget to book a table at Sussex’s finest dining experience: Food Restaurant in Worthing, and The Fish Factory restaurant in Worthing and Littlehampton.

Proto Restaurant Group supports the Worthing Calendar 2011

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Worthing Calendar 2011

There’s something new happening in Worthing. It’s creative. It’s fashion. It’s trendy, and it makes Worthing look absolutely beautiful, highlighting many of its features, with the help of some beautiful models.

The Worthing Calendar is raising money for St. Barnabas Hospice in Worthing. And naturally, Proto Restaurant Group is helping this worthwhile, iconic project by giving it some exposure, as well as donating a meal for four at one of it’s restaurants – either at Food or The Fish Factory restaurants in Worthing and Littlehampton, Sussex.

The calendar is a celebration of fashion, history and our beautiful town, and is the idea of Sadie Collis, pictured below. Sadie’s father died of pancreatic cancer 10 years ago and he didn’t make it long enough to reach St Barnabas Hospice. Instead, he benefited from the outreach support of St Barnabas Hospice. Knowing that his last few days were lived in relative peace, Sadie will always be grateful to St. Barnabas Hospice for their care. Producing this calendar is Sadie’s way of saying a big thank you to St. Barnabas and at the same time it raises aware for the incredible volunteers and surroundings.

The calendars are very reasonably priced and you can click here to buy your calendar.
