“Lisa’s Fund has managed to raise another £1,391 59 over the last few days. Starting at Tesco’s Ely on Thursday”, said Robert Barnes who launched the fund just over three years ago. “We had a great day collecting made even better by a visit from Santa Clause who came to help and cheer us on. Friday all day and Saturday morning where spent at Sainsbury’s Ely where we had our famous Pink Wheelbarrow Christmas draw. The wheel barrow was donated by Ernest Doe of Littleport the Christmas Cake by The Lighthouse Centre of Ely, and the huge selection of chocolate by Cherry Hill Chocolates of Ely. A big thank you to them all.” The winning ticket No181 was won by Mrs Cornwell from Ely.
On Saturday Santa managed to take some time off to join us again along with Viva Youth Theatre of Soham who came to sing some Christmas songs and Carols.
Sunday evening saw our first Christmas Band Concert at The Brook in Soham, performed by the Soham Comrades Band under its new Musical Director Jayne Murrill. Jayne, a professional musician and music teacher, is enjoying her time with the band. They played a selection of Christmas songs and carols along with songs from the musicals.
