 Yesterday's
World got into the spirit of Christmas with the openin g of
a Winter Wonderland on Thurs 9 Dec to raise money for St
Michael's Hospice. The children's play village and gardens
were transformed into a magical snow scene with fairy
lights, reindeer and a karaoke Father Christmas!
Hundreds of families came along to meet Santa in
his Winter Grotto and join in the fun with Arrow
FM's festive disco and the 304 Squadron ATC
Marching Band. Roast chestnuts, mulled wine and
mince pies were enjoyed by all and the evening raised a
total of £257.56 for charity.
Unfortunately Santa's Little Helpers, The Cheeky
Girls, were unable to attend the event due to filming
commitments but instead sent up a black cab from London
with 100 copies of their new Christmas single, 'Boys &
Girls Christmas Time Love.'
If you are a 'cheeky' fan and would like a CD and
signed postcard, simply come along to Yesterday's
World and get your copy for £1.00 while stocks
last. All proceeds from will be donated to St Michael's
Hospice.

Spirits
were not dampened at the Teddy Bears' Picnic on
Bank Holiday Monday, despite the torrential
downpour and thunder and lightning which hit us
at lunchtime. Plenty of youngsters brought their
furry friends along with them and joined in with
the face-painting, giant inflatable Jack in the
Box bouncy castle, tombola stand and of course,
the Teddy Bears' Picnic Show, with popular
children's entertainers, Beverley and John, of
the Fun Factory. 
The
rain held off for our VE Day Street Party
Celebration on Sunday 8 May, to mark the end of the
Second World War in Europe. Dozens of visitors took
part in the festivities including several war
veterans and elderly people who had attended the
original celebrations in 1945. We would like to
thank Battle Town Band, who played a 2 hour session
of music from the era and all our staff who dressed
up in 1940s costumes for the day.
