The Saturday before Christmas saw club members helping with our annual
bucket collection at Sainsbury's Colchester Avenue. This year we were
collecting for the RNLI and other charities supported by the club. In
the morning we were supported by our friends who provided a brass
quartet playing Christmas music, who attracted their own audience, and
in the afternoon members of the club led by Mark on the keyboard sang
carols to entertain the shoppers. The total amount raised wasn £638.28.
