Disco Fever
In November 2006 local residents held a disco to honour Mike Williams, a former teacher at Bransgore Primary, who has now retired. The money raised has been donated to our group for which we are incredibly grateful. The disco and raffle raised �652 and a great night was had by all, including the responders who were invited along. Thank you Mike and to Diana and Heather the organisers for their generosity and we wish Mike a very Happy Retirement. Thanks to those who supported.
