The third Christmas Crackers was well supported by choirs from three local schools including an instrumental consort from Henbury School who played nobly in light rain and, until it was turned off, wet snow from the snow machine. Despite the rain which ceased after a time and the low temperature the number of children and adults supporting the event was the highest yet and Father Christmas and his helpers coped magnificently with the number of eager children. Hot non-alcoholic punch and mince pies were exceedingly welcome to one and all.

As the Evening Post article here: click says the event shows that Henbury has many good things to offer.

A collection was made and a total of £56.40 was raised which will be added to the Fun Day total of £1078.27 giving a grand total of £1134.67 which will be directed towards the Elderly of Henbury and Brentry.

Particular commendation and thanks on behalf of the Community should go to Cheryl Coles of Safer Bristol and the Pratt family of whom Chris led the community team, Graham played the key Christmas role and Martyn  provided music and amplification without which the event would not really have been possible.
