December 1996 Concert

The Concert raised £706 which was given to Naomi House - the Wessex Children's Hospice - which was being constructed at the time we raised the money. They wrote "Thank you very much for the donations to the Children's Hospice Appeal. This is indeed most kind and I would be pleased if you could pass on my thanks to all your players for their support - it is greatly appreciated".
