Thornton Club stars raise £330 for Redgate Animal Sanctuary with Rock ‘n Roll party! IT JUST GOES to show that Friday 13th is not always unlucky; in fact for Redgate Farm Animal Sanctuary is turned out to be a very lucky day. Two big names: Jimmy Mac – an excellent Elvis tribute singer and entertainer, and the fabulous group ‘The Fantoms’ put on a Rock and Roll show to raise money, £330 in total, for the Markfield sanctuary. And we were just in the mood for a party as the sanctuary is celebrating its 30th birthday this summer. Nearly seventy people came along to join in over four hours of 1950s / 1960s fun in The Thornton. And at the end of a great night (and after a raffle with twenty prizes each dafter than the last!) we all went home buzzing. The sanctuary Trustees would like to extend their sincere thanks to everyone who gave their time and energy to perform on the evening, it was so very generous of you. We would also like to thank everyone who came along to sing, dance and enjoy themselves, and last, but by no means least - to our very kind and generous hosts, Karen and Eddie Orme who always make sure there is plenty of live music in the village. Thank you all! And we are already looking forward to our next Redgate Rock ‘n Roll party on Saturday 8th October in ‘The Thornton’ - so please make a note in your diary!

Sanctuary Trustee & Fundraiser
