To help fund the trip, Paul’s Signing Choir, led by Paul Whittaker OBE, is holding an afternoon tea at Norland Junior and Infant School on October 8.
It will run from 2pm until 4pm and donations of raffle prizes, sandwiches and cakes are welcome. Contact Gail Herring on 07855 769 852 if you can help.
