A BARN dance held at the Horndon on the Hill Village Hall has raised £880 for Breast Cancer Campaign.
Organisers Andrea Nunnery and Nancy Smith, from Horndon on the Hill, were thrilled with how the night went.
Andrea said: “The event was fully sold out and 80 people turned up to support it, we had some marvelous raffle prizes donated from M&S, St Clere’s Golf Club, Hotel Chocolat, Vue Cinemas, Nando’s and Budz Off Licence in Stanford le Hope.
The most special part of the night was that my sister who is currently receiving treatment for Breast Cancer was well enough to travel 200 miles and attend with her family.
“The atmosphere was brilliant, Chrissie Bence and her son Joe, our callers, did an amazing job, there were always lots of people dancing and lots of laughing & smiling. There were also lots of requests for the event to become an annual one, so watch this space”.
The Barn Dance is part of a series of events that Andrea & Nancy have organised and they have now raised close to £5000 for Breast Cancer Campaign. In October 2013 they will be trekking the Grand Canyon to raise further funds for Breast Cancer Campaign.
