The village hall was reeling late into the night with the sound of Gaelic music provided by the Mee Ceilidh Band. The event raised over £300 which was divided between Loros, and Mary Magdalene Church. Many thanks to Ann and Andy for organising this great event.

At the Promises Auction Jean Chapman promised to hold a Danceathon to raise money for the Church funds.

It took place on 14th February 2018 in the village hall. Ladies from the village took part, dancing almost continuously for a long time. There was however a cake break to scoff cakes made by Ann and Sue. A lot of fun was had and the great total of £665 reached.
