Fashion Show raises £3k
An evening of Fashion and Jazz at the Armstrong Hall in Thornbury has raised over £3000 for Cancer Research. The evening was organised by Thornbury Rotary and Inner Wheel Clubs in conjunction with the local branch of Cancer Research UK.
Jean Ford of “Just In” who provided the fashions compered the show and introduced the mannequins who were all volunteers and included members of the three organisations involved. Alan Spedding Jazzmen provided the music before and after the fashion show, which was attended by over two hundred people.
A garden for Eden
Ann Evans from Eastwood Garden Centre is competing in a new TV programme called 'Garden For Eden', due to be broadcast later this year. As well as creating a garden in Thornbury, she had to create a container for £50, which is being donated to Christ the King School.
Next Ann will build a garden in Torquay, and if she wins, the final round involves designing and building a garden for the Eden Project in Cornwall. Click below for more information.
