During December 1999, average attendance was only 25.2%.  The figure for 2000 showed a modest improvement to 34.8%.  But for 2001 this dropped to just 21% so to again raise over £2000 is a huge tribute to the small band of regulars who supported this year's fundraising effort. Last year's collection totalled a massive £2,247.49.  Although we didn't quite match that this year, we have managed to exceed our target, which means that we have collected over £10,000 through carolling in the last 7 years.
