I was delighted to be invited by John and Jan Hardwick to have a stall at their Secret Valley Xmas Tree Farm for their 2 busiest weekends of the season, CRY being their charity of choice for this year. As well as selling Xmas trees, families with young children enjoyed a visit to Father Xmas in his grotto, seeing the cows in their shed, playing on tractors and having snowball fights in the barn. All enjoyed the nativity scene and the opportunity to buy Xmas goods, including wine made at the farm.

Donations made to Cardiac Risk in the Young in memory of Gary Edwards to date total almost £700 with collection boxes yet to be collected.
