CHARITY DONATION
We're pleased to say that after catering costs were taken out of the entrance fee the event made a modest profit of £115, which Phil has donated to the charity LOROS. Thanks for your support.
Also, a general thanks to everyone who attended! Phil Dixon (with a lot of help from Terry Sullivan and many others) organised a fabulous line-up of machines, and I'm undoubtedly right in saying that a great day was had by all! This second successful Christmas Cracker has hopefully firmly established a new annual tradition, so let's look forward to the next one!
