Christian Aid Concert
On Wednesday 6th June, Edlesborough School held a concert at the Eaton Bray church. It was raising money for Christian Aid. The orchestra, choir and some soloists performed. It started at 7:00pm when all the parents started flooding in.
The Edlesborough School choir were on first with a jolly song, they got everybody clapping. After a while some children who used to go to Edlesborough Schoolarrived, they also gave us a good performance. People from church were there including their choir, orchestra and a brilliant organ player!
It was soon time for the interval, drinks and biscuits were served. Raffle tickets were also on sale. All the money went to Christian aid. There were some lucky winners who were given some very nice prizes. It was getting on to 8:30pm when they started the second half. It was just as good as the first and all went well. The concert finished just after 9:00pm and everybody went home feeling proud.
£529 was made over all. It was a very good result !
