The very latest and very special CubanTM JoRal on its way to Eclipse Trumpets… Leigh, Heather and myself have agreed that each person visiting the workshop will be given the opportunity to donate £5 or more to MacMillan Cancer Charity writing their name on a raffle ticket and placing it in a jar. Christmas time Leigh will draw the name of the winner and all proceeds go to the charity. Heather is 10 years free of Cancer this year and this is an excellent way to support cancer research and the people who make a difference
