Caribbean Night proves a big hit

On a cold Saturday evening a full parish hall adopted the warmer Caribbean setting and enjoyed authentic Caribbean music, food and a great atmosphere. Young and old entered into the spirit of the evening and fuelled by Brenda’s rum punch nearly all happily danced the time away. The music was so good we had a man with a broken leg dancing.

Very generous donors ensured there were plenty of good raffle prizes and the raffle and the various competitions gave additional variety to the evening. The six courses of the Caribbean menu were enjoyed and appreciated. There was nothing left!

The event raised £1329.51 this money will pay a Bethlehem Hospice Nurse’s salary for 1 month and help to reduce suffering for that time.

Special thanks to our volunteers Brenda, Pamela and Nadine.
