Gervase Phinn started the Friends of Harrogate Hospital’s fundraising programme with ‘An Afternoon with Gervase Phinn’ in the sumptuous surroundings of the Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate with over 220 guests. John Fox, of the Friends of Harrogate Hospital, said: “Gervase was on form as he retold true stories of his life. Unfortunately, at the end of the first half Gervase felt unwell and was taken to Harrogate District Hospital (HDH).” Commenting on the sudden ending Gervase told the Harrogate Advertiser that “It is ironic that I was helping raise funds for the HDH and then find myself taken there. I have to say that the treatment I received was first class”.
