Oxton came out in force to start our Xmas celebrations with the switch-on of our Xmas Lights. A big thank you to the happy throngs of neighbours who sampled a delicious range of street food and drink, applauded our wonderful entertainers and visited Santa’s Grotto. Thanks to Edwards News who, as ever, donated all the Xmas gifts for the children. All together, a great atmosphere that celebrated our local community.
Another successful Oxton Society event was only made possible by the hard work of our planning team and the volunteers who set up and cleared away on the day – so, many thanks to them.
Also, we are very grateful to the 40 businesses who supported the raffle with donations or prizes, especially Bogans Carpets with the top prize of a £300 voucher and Manny’s Market with an attractive hamper. The raffle made over £1900 and together with our mulled wine stall and other donations (thanks to all who bought a bulb through Just Giving) this just about covered the cost of the event.
Thanks to EVERYONE who came and took part- it’s a real tribute to our community.
