carol singing 2008
A big thank you to everyone who sang, collected, provided wassail or made donations for our annual carol singing event on December 22nd. We raised the wonderful sum of £375.13 for Cancer Research UK.
We were lucky this year to have a dry, mild evening, resulting in an almost 100% retention rate of singers! Or maybe it was the mince pies and mulled wine (thanks to June Clarke, Lynne and Guy Cattell) hot sausage rolls (thanks to June and Brian Farrar) and an end of sing supper at Chris and Michael Weir’s house that kept us going?
Santa made his usual appearance, delighting the younger residents of the village. Older residents were no doubt delighted by our musical ability, according to the generosity of donations.
An additional £20.55 was raised by donations in lieu of Christmas cards to a community card in the Village Shop. Thanks to Eleanor Turner for arranging that.
A cheque rounding the total amount up to £400 has been sent off to Cancer Research and the receipt will be posted in the Village Shop shortly.
Once again, thank you to everybody for supporting us in what was our 17th year of fund raising for Cancer Research.
