The Shining Star Talent Show took place on the 30th October and what an amazing success it was, we raised £2271, an amazing result. The contestants that took part were all excellent and we didn't envy the celebrity judges, Julie Cowell, Paul Nicholas and Garry Wilson who had to make the difficult decision to find the overall winner. In the end the title went to Jez Minfaq who gave a wonderful performance, as Michael Jackson.
Our special thanks go to Paul Nicholas School of Acting, all the contestants, judges and all the volunteers who worked so hard, both back stage and front of house

We held a summer evening of dining in St Margaret's Church Cottage and what a successful night it was, we managed to raise over £1100 and everyone that came, gave us so much positive feedback - I have to say the pig racing just added to the evening of fun.

We would also like to thank everyone who helped us out on the night - "Team Spence" really worked as an A class team - you were all amazing.
