TEA TIME TREATS: County councillors Richard Bell and Ted Henderson, along with Clare Moss-Clennell, partner at the Coach House, prepare to deliver boxes of sweet and savoury treats to Eggleston’s senior citizens
A SPECIAL effort ensured a dale village’s older folk did not miss out on some much-needed Christmas cheer this year.
Money raised by Eggleston’s carnival committee normally covers the cost of an OAPs’ festive lunch at the village hall. With fundraising efforts proving impossible this year and a lunchtime get-together currently against Covid-19 Tier 3 restrictions, it looked as though it would be not such a merry Christmas for the village’s senior citizens.
