John, we have just seen your post and are both happy but humbled that you have dedicated this years Christmas fundraiser to us.
Ok, perhaps we were there with the ideas at the very beginning when the carnival committee/3C's was set up but over the years we have been helped and supported by a very strong team, of which you are one, as well as having some very dedicated and generous supporters. CBF members have been real stars in this fundraising and without them, our hardworking committee members and supporters, none of our charity's projects could have been achieved. We hope that the fundraiser which you have kindly organised again this year (our swansong! - again thank you) has raised lots of money to enable more needy children to be helped.
Thank you for your good wishes for our retirement, we certainly intend to enjoy it and are enjoying making plans for the coming year.We now wish the new 3Cs committee every success for their future fundraising and hope that everybody will continue to support them in their good work. We also send our heartfelt thanks to you, Keith and your respective families and everyone at CBF for your help over the years and send best wishes to everyone for a very happy and healthy New Year 2016.
Pete and Chrissie x
