Air Ambulance ceilidh on 21st November

Regular readers of Audlem Online will recall that back in April Kate Down fell and broke her leg whilst out walking with Audlem Rambling Society (ARS). She had to be rescued by the Air Ambulance as the area where she fell was inaccessible to a normal ambulance.

Despite being an important arm of the rescue services, all of the Air Ambulances throughout the country are funded by donations, not through taxes. Following Kate's accident, ARS members agreed to raise money to support this valuable service.

As part of the fund-raising activities ARS is organising a ceilidh in the Public Hall on Friday 21st November. Tickets cost £10 and include a two-course meal – chilli or lasagne (with a vegetarian option), followed by a sweet. Doors open at 7.15, with food being served at 7.45. There will be a licensed bar. The music will be provided by Audlem's own ceilidh band, The Crofters, who are donating their fee to the Air Ambulance Fund.

If you fancy having an enjoyable evening, whilst helping this important part of the nation's rescue service, tickets can be obtained from either Steve Elliott on 01270 811369 or Andy Davidson on 01270 811213.
