Famous guests included:

biscuits are a suitable nibble for posh folk whilst enjoying afternoon tea.

and fitness franchisees.

















Anne Davies who brightens our regional BBC News most evenings.

The concert is a annual event attended by those who feel obliged to attend and dig
deep into their pockets supporting the NSPCC.

O come all ye faithful.

In past years Gates Nurseries had sponsored the Christmas Decoration
within the Church for this annual event. They always looked plush.

This year those attending were treated to cheap tacky wreaths labelled as
ASDA products.

This year I did not meet the organisers who traditionally rather rudely
object to me photographing the decorations.

Today the normal activities of the church were cancelled so they
could decorate the church.

Last Christmas the concert raised £16,500
