£200 raised for Oxfam at Hillsborough Hotel 1940's day

Wednesday night was a great night for all.

The hillsborough hotel rolled back in time to the 40's. Thanks to Chris from Danger zone in Malin Bridge who let bus borrow things from the war.Wendy and Helen got into the spirits at the Hotel and dressed up. The pub was full in the evening and awaiting the entertainment.

The evening started with Traditional Hymns led by St Bart's Musicians and Chris (one of their father in law who travelled 1 and 1/2 hours to be part of the event), Gary gave us a laugh about some of the stuff in the 500 years + and George fornby and his wife entertained us with those classics from the 40's

I came dressed as what i thought was a suave bloke from the 40's but others thought i was a gangster. local businesses and suppliers provided the raffle, and quiz prizes, where i was the quiz caller. One of the questions was " what date did the WW2 start !!! 3 Sept 1939"

Thanks to all who helped put this event on.
