Canvey Island Raises Money

Canvey Island town council held its armed forces day last Saturday and what a fantastic day it was.

They held a night time dance with the drifters being top spot.
As the town council are not allowed to raise funds for charities, I as borough councillor held a raffle under the flag of the Canvey Island Independent Party to raise funds for the Afghanistan Trust.

We had a fantastic night, I really enjoyed myself going round mugging people for their money for this great cause. We held a raffle, then sold their entry tickets back for £1:00 for a one off draw of £100:00, also took the bucket round for all their loose change at the end of the night.

We are a small town but our residents are always behind our armed forces, and look forward to Armed Forces day every year.
