A total of 100 performers and more than 200 audience members braved Storm Darragh for a charity Christmas concert which raised £1,700.

The event, which took place on December 7 at Writhlington School Dragonfly Theatre, was performed by The Orchstra, Cam Valley Choir and Men of Chew.

The three groups gave their first performance with all three groups together on the stage. It was a successful venture, enjoyed by all, and definitely to be repeated.

The money raised was donated to Swallow Charity in Radstock and to the restoration of the equipment for Paulton Junior School's Forest School.
