Ghost of Dunkirk presentation

A cheque for £4,051 was presented to Deeday White and Tush Hamilton at a fund-raising event organised by them, held at East Hastings Sea Angling Club, last Friday, 14th April.

The cheque was presented by concert organisers Garry Fellows, Mike Axworthy, Shaun Taberer and Pauline Lindsay.

Garry gave a short talk thanking those involved with the concert and the sponsors. He read out letters received from Malcolm and Olivia Bishop who were guests of honour on the night of the concert.

DeeDay and Tush were each presented with a picture taken of them by Sid Saunders at the concert, as a memento of the night.

The evening at the EHSAA was to raise money for the Trust and consisted of a carvery meal together with a talk by DeeDay and Tush, and a presentation of forty-year-old £5 notes donated by an anonymous donor to the Trust, several of which were presented to people who have worked tirelessly for the Trust since its inception.

The evening was completed with musical entertainment from The likely Lads.

Over £500 Was raised on the night.
