ELIM CHURCH XMAS SPECTACULAR EVENT A GREAT SUCCESS

I attended the Elim Church (working with the Hawthorn Traders Association) Great Christmas spectacular today. The even was very busy over 600 residents and children  had already been in and enjoyed Face painting food and Carol singing. As a real treat the real Father Christmas and a number of his Elf helpers were there to meet the children and help ensure they get their Christmas presents.

I spoke to father Christmas and his Elves myself and was assured after some tough negotiating, even some politicians would be receiving presents this year!!.

This is the sort of event this area needs to help lift spirits and to start the Christmas period on a right note. Hopefully it  also helped bring much needed trade to the local shops.

All those I met at this event were thoroughly enjoying it adults and children alike. As usual the helpers were doing a brilliant job controlling the crowds and serving food and so on. I would like to congratulate all those involved. The Oscott Community Chest with the assistance of the Hawthorn Traders helped to contribute to this event.
