A Big Thank You…
Thank you to all who helped by buying tickets for the Good-Timers club here in Whitehawk. The raffle went well and we raised £187.00. All prizes were donated by local shops and residents and a big thank you to all as we would not have been able to go ahead without you. A prosperous New Year to you all.
