CHRISTMAS CAROLS ROUNDS
Around Brighton & Hove
With Float, Tree and Father Christmas

The SNOW and ICE unfortunately meant several rounds had to be cancelled. Despite not being able to collect on half the nights the marvellous amount of around £2,500 was raised for local charities. Thanks go to all the hard working club members who went out in bad weather, the drivers, Father Christmas, AND all the good folk of Brighton & Hove who gave generously
