Big thanks to Derby County, Marks and Spencer, Hickory Dickorys, Morrisons, and the local Sainsburys on Morley St for providing us with raffle prizes. Also thanks to VP Hire on Granville St for providing the generator as always, free of charge, much appreciated.

Thanks to Kaleidoscope Drummers who came down to entertain us and let everyone have a go on their drums, you were brilliant! Also Coe-Coe the Clown who did a great job keeping the children entertained.
