Belated News - Charity Collections

We're a bit late posting this news but better late than never!

On 18th March which was Red Nose Day, Tim Hughes from Firdale helped raise money when he busked in Morthwich outside Quality Save . Local Band the Weavils are old friends of Tim's and were delighted to see him in the audience. They invited Tim to play percussion with them for a couple of numbers. Tim was keen to do so and was able to showcase his natural sense of rhythm. The crowds in town showed their appreciation and a total of £342.22 was raised. The Weavils often appear at Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival More information on them can be found at www.weavils.com. If you get the chance to hear them play, don't miss it! Thanks to Maureen from Firdale for the news.

Also on 18th March Karen Morrey, Sarah Clarke and Patsy Scott from the Old Fire Station went out with collecting boxes and very fetching daffodil costumes to collect for Marie Curie cancer care. They stood outside H Samuels jewellers and collected two full boxes from generous passers by. Karen says: "it was a lovely sunny day and it was nice to help the charity. We might do it again too, I'd like to."
