country.<\/p>\n<p>The event, held at Keat's House in Headless Cross, raised more than &pound;500 for the Help for Heroes charity, the Redditch Advertiser reports.<\/p>\n<p>It was attended by mayor Kath Banks and its organiser, Frank Appin, said the gathering &quot;went really well&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>He noted the get-together managed to collect a considerable amount for the cause and observed the total was particularly impressive as most of the people involved were of pensionable age.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I couldn't have done it though without the support of family and friends who all helped out on the day so a big thank you should go to them,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Northwich Guardian recently reported the Blakemere Craft Centre is planning to hold a Second World War-themed event to raise cash for Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800092232-ADNFCR\"
