President Bill handed over the cheque for £6706.03.
Also present were the ladies from the charity Pos+ability who had run held an auction during the Festival and raised an excellent £841.00. Celebrity auctioneer and Hon Soham Rotary member, David Palmer who had facilitated the auction at the event was also able to join in the evening along with his wife, Mary.

Everyone involved with the Club makes this community event possible and it is very gratifying to hear from the benefitting charities just how much these funds are appreciated.
