The dust has now settled on this event, our 20th, held on 23 & 24 June at Claverham Village Hall.
We had our usual 25 craft beers available together with 7 ciders and the ever popular Gin Bar. The choice of beers was applauded and the ciders 'flew off the shelf'. The fruit ciders were extremely popular and a hint for next time is to increase the quantity to avoid the embarrassment of running out early in the weekend! The evening entertainment, The Twerzels and The Instigators, was well received and the Saturday afternoon family session was very well attended with the children's entertainer and face painter holding the youngsters' attention. So, overall, with the weather kind to us and despite the clash with Glastonbury the event was considered a great success. We had great support from our sponsors and were able to declare the sum of £6000 as the proceeds of the Festival.
Some of this is retained for future Lions Club initiatives but the majority has
been distributed to the following charitable organisations:
Vision North Somerset
Brain Tumour Support
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
The Children's Trust (for Brain Injured Children)
Vine Counselling Services
Motor Neurone Disease Association
2nd Yatton Guide Company
Cleeve Claverham & Yatton Scout Group
We continue to appreciate the help of our sponsors, supporters, members and partners whose valuable contribution continues to make the event a success and a recognised community activity. |
