Carol singing

Thanks to all those who welcomed the carol singers and gave so generously.  We managed to raise around £430 which will be split between DENS (Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter) and The Pepper Foundation.  Thanks in particular to those who produced 'refreshments',  and of course a big thanks to those who turned out on first a dank night then a frosty night.
