Five year plan to make Sale Moor sparkle with its own Christmas lights

“However, we felt that hiring lights each year wasn’t viable and, instead, have decided to buy them.

“A full complement of lights for the Village could cost as much as £8,000 – plus the additional expense of storage and installation each year – so our plan is to gradually build up to a full set by buying something new each year.

“It feels like a more prudent use of the community’s generosity,” said Anna and added; “We have some amazing prizes that are really worth winning and we send huge thanks to the businesses that have donated them to us.”

Prizes for the raffle include; contributions from Traders in the Village towards a £100 cash prize, £100 voucher for the fabulous retailer Rose and Grey, £110 photography package courtesy of the talented Anna Hardy Photography, tickets to the marvellous new Dino Falls Golf experience, a C9 weight management treatment from Forever Aloe, festive food and drink packages from Waitrose and Bargain Booze, a stunning Christmas wreath from Fleur de Vie, vouchers for the fabulous Amphora and Serendipitea in Sale  – and many more wonderful prizes!

Tickets cost only £1 – or £5 for a book – and are available online at http://www.wearesalemoor.co. uk/and from several shops in Sale Moor Village, including Taylor’s, Hesketh’s, Orchard Greenery and Charlie’s Corner.

It is hoped that the  festive fundraiser will raise at least £2,000 to buy two cross-street displays this year to hang above Northenden Road.

The raffle will be drawn at the pop-up cinema at Sale Moor Community Centre on Saturday 9^th December and the winners will be contacted afterwards.
