Esme Bagnall-Oakeley, Chairman and Duncan Baker, Entertainments Officer
The Holt Christmas Lights Committee were delighted to give two cheques to organisations in the community with the money raised from their collection tins for the 2009 event. The East Anglian Air Ambulance and the Holt Community Centre were the chosen charities.
Alison Heathfield was instrumental in organising the children at Holt Primary School to decorate the collecting tins. Lindsay Furniss (of The Tannery in Bull Street and Lees Yard) spent huge amounts of time distributing over one hundred collection boxes. A grand total of £636 was raised from the tins during the Winter Months with Ladbrokes raising the most.
The Committee warmly thanks everyone involved with this tremendous effort and to the shop owners for displaying the boxes. The total raised was a third more than the previous year.
On Friday 16th April presentations were made to Jess Down of the Air Ambulance by Lindsay in her shop at Bull Street . Also in the picture is Esme Bagnall Oakeley, Chairman of the Committee and Duncan Baker , the Entertainments Officer for the Committee.
