Yet another fantastic tribute show was held on Saturday 2nd October at Cwmgors RFC. There were the usual die hard singers performing their acts, polished as ever. Huw Bowen yet again kept the audience entertained as only he can and gave everyone a memory of his antics to take home.
Many thanks to Melanie and everyone involved in the hard work it takes to provide an evening of fabulous entertainment such as this. The amount raised for the charity came to an impressive £651.63 but as Barclays were matchfunding, that has risen to £804.63
Well Done Everyone!
