Our annual event was very well attended this year, helped by the dry, mild weather. Ocean Brass played beautifully, while Lawrence and Louise led us all in the carols and read some festive poems and prose. Tim and Ken’s efforts to light the lights helped with the atmosphere. What a special hour we shared together. Big thanks to everyone who joined in and helped out.
We raised £170 for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air ambulance, the bands charity for 2018.
Our thanks must go to Michelle for organising this event – Ed.
