We again organised the annual draw for the Staplehurst Carnival on 26th June. With great weather for a successful and enjoyable event, the draw raised nearly £700 for local charities.
Half of the funds raised goes to the Sobell Lodge Cheshire Home in Staplehurst, with the remainder to the Staplehurst Carnival funds and the Lions Club.
Our thanks go to the local organisations who sponsored the many prizes for the draw.
