Crickhowell Cancer Research Wales Committee have raised £175,000 with great help from local businesses and the community.

A very successful fashion show and afternoon tea held at the Manor Hotel was a complete sell out, and proved to be very popular, raising £3,331 towards the cause.

Alison Tod, an established and respected name in the world of millinery, gave a very interesting show of exquisite fashion and hats, while Sian Lloyd took on the role of the very competent compere for the afternoon.

A musical extravaganza with a capacity audience was performed by the Phoenix Choir and Abergavenny Borough Band, who proved to be an enormous success and raised £1,862 for Cancer Research Wales.

An Elvis Tribute Concert held in the Clarence Hall also proved to be popular and raised £2,623.

Another fundraising event arranged was a canal walk organised by members of the Rotary Club, which raised £3,564.

Chairman of the committee, Hazel Thomas said: “I would like to thank the committee for their excellent teamwork and the success of these events, which were due to the generosity of local people, the sponsors, and businesses.”
