Swingin' Affair

In October 2010 we held a musical fundraising event at St Catherine’s Social Club in Disdbury where the music was provided by Swingin’ Affair. The group performed for us previously in 2004 and we are very grateful for their continued help in raising money. The event was supported by attendees and their families, as well as friends and people from the local area, all of whom enjoyed the variety of music played. The event, including the raffle held in the interval, raised £645 which was very welcome.
