FODC raise £248 at Darwen Gala.

FODC one again attended
this years Darwen Gala, this year with two stalls, we had a fund
raisingstall out in the main field and an information stall in the Marquee.

We managed to raise £248.90 from a bottle raffle and and the Cemetery Game for the kids, together with some donations.

Thank you to everybody who donated the bottles and small gifts in the lucky dip box.

The weather stayed fine and the Gala was well attended with a steady flow throughout the afternoon.

On the day we also completed 42 questionnaires for the Heritage Bid,
all 42 replies were in favour of developing a Heritage Walk around the Cemetery to commemorate the war dead buried in the
Cemetery which died in the Great War of 1914 – 1918.

Thank you to all the members who helped throughout the
day.
