Nottingham Fireworks at Wilford Village

2006

Trent Bridge Rotary Club President David Palmer hands over a donation cheque for £5,000 to Andy Shields, Trent Regional Fundraising Manager for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, from part of the proceeds of the Rotary Clubs' recent Charity Bonfire & Fireworks Event , held at Wilford Village.

Roger Steel the Event Organiser stated that "this years event was the biggest & best ever, and I would express the Rotary Clubs gratitude for the tremendous public support, when almost 5,000 people attended; not forgetting the numerous volunteers from our local community organisations, who helped to make this our most successful event ever.

With the recent poignant news that The Chancellor's son has been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, it is encouraging to note that our contribution towards funding for further research, will next year lead to clinical trials, in furtherance of the hope that this will lead to the elimination of the life threatening element of this condition, which all Cystic Fibrosis parents crave for.

We were pleased to also welcome Kerry Colebrook, from Wollaton, a mother with two children suffering with Cystic Fibrosis. Kerry gave a heartfelt response, in thanking the Rotarians, and main sponsor C-Mec Demolition, for all their hard work involved in achieving this generous donation to Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Kerry truly deserved her hug, to conclude the evening."

Thank you once again everyone.
