Phoenix Auto Moto Club Summer Fete in Desertines June 30th
The Phoenix Auto Moto Club held their Summer Fete in Désertines on 30th June. Cancer Support France Nord had been invited by the car club to attend. Fortunately, the day dawned a little cooler than it had been of late and we all gathered at the venue to start setting up. Elliotts Butchers, Gorron were already there cooking the Hog Roast - they must have had a very early start, the smell of the cooking was amazing. The event opened at 11am. There were many classic and vintage cars, and motorcycles displayed and a prize was awared later in the day for the best in show. Entertainment was provided by the Red Lion Morris Dancers and Live Music from Annie & Sarah. We really enjoyed the event - the weather was kind, the food excellent and the entertainment rounded off the perfect day. The Red Lion Morris Dancers collected donations for CSF Nord of €216 - this included a €60 donation from Elliots. The CSF Nord stall was also selling cakes, plants and jams etc and raised a further 160€. A HUGE thank you to everyone for all their efforts - it is very much appreciated and this much needed money will be used to help those affected by cancer in our community.
