A packed church, a mountain of mince pies and Christmas cake and even a his and hers bran tub. And that’s not to mention handmade gifts from Romania, cards, home made buns, face painting etc. etc.
The highlight, however, has to have been a 12 or was it 13 piece band who go by the briliant name Steel Crazy. They played two forty five minute sets of songs and tunes which although not exclusively Christmasy did contain more ho, ho, ho’s that you could shake a stick at, and all under our very own Strictly Come Dancing glitter ball.
Although the event was free to enter, in total almost £300 was raised which will be split between our own Romania support group and Beacon Cafe’s Warm Spaces.
There are too many names to mention here but extra special thanks need to go to Rachel Beedle (herself a nifty drummer) for getting the band over to MBC and presumably getting it back to it’s home in Garforth. I was in church last Tuesday evening when the first lot of pans arrived and it looked more like a Pickford’s removal job than anything else.
