Here is a blurb from Travel Awards article- dated October 27, 2011
The awards also marked a first for the Telegraph Travel, in that we teamed up with a charity. As well as all the naval gazing, back slapping and bonhomie at the awards ceremony, when Emma Samms, the founder of Starlight, spoke movingly about what the charity do es for seriously ill children – granting them wishes such as visiting a factory making Dyson products to diving with Great White Sharks in South Africa – it reminded us why travel can be such a force for good. This Government would do well to remember that when they bring in the next swathe of flight tax increases.

Harry Potter stars gather for charity cricket match

CELEBRITIES did their bit to help a cricket match in Mickleham raise thousands of pounds for charity.
Some 700 people watched as a team of former cricketers and other famous people made up the Bunbury’s team and took on the Headmaster’s XI at Box Hill School.
The event was also a family fun day so younger spectators were entertained with stalls, a high ropes course, bouncy castle and other entertainment on Sunday (June 19).
Former England players Darren Gough and Devon Malcolm were among the star attractions on the pitch, as was New Zealand batsman Lou Vincent, and he set up a victory for the celebrity team with a quick-fire century.
The team was not just made up of cricketers and sportsmen, with James and Oliver Phelps, the Weasley twins from the Harry Potter films and actress Emma Samms helping to even up the contest against opposing students, staff and people from the nearby area.
Funds raised on the day will go to four different causes.
They are the NSPCC, Bunbury’s chosen cause the English Schools’ Cricket Association and Box Hill School charity Round Square International Service Projects, which supports schools around the world.
Simon Powell, one of the organizers and director of school development at Box Hill, said: “The day was a great success.
“It was a very exciting day’s cricket and we had a significant increase in people compared to two years ago.
“The Weasley twins were a great hit with the children. It was rivalled only in popularity by the school’s high ropes course, while the parents were entertained by the cricket and enjoyed their Pimm’s.”
