Last night the Lonny Wilsoncroft Community Centre hosted its first Race Night. And what a night it was! First and foremost we raised £264.76 for our Kitchen. Everyone enjoyed themselves and entered into the spirit of the occasion, shouting on their horse during the racing. Most people won something on the night and a good time was had by all. The bar was run by Pat and Josh and Tracy served refreshments, while Mandy and Joanne ran the Tote. Mu and Fay did a sterling job selling programmes and raffle tickets, I don\'t think anyone escaped without buying something! Well...

We have had a quote for the work of £26,000, which is alot of money, but the Management Committee are determined and willing to work hard this year to raise as much money as possible. In the last two months of 2010 we managed to raise over £2,000. This money came from a Jumble Sale, the Christmas Fayre, (both of these events were very well attended by the local community - so thank you very much).
