You can see photos of this concert here. The event raised over £1000, which was split equally between two of the Regiment's chosen charities, St Rocco's Hospice and the Army Benevolent Fund.
The
Commanding Officer of 75 Engineer Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Henry Ricketts,
said: "We
are delighted to be able to give something back to the community in the form of
entertainment, mince pies and a sizeable contribution to one of Warrington's
most worthy causes - St Rocco's Hospice. We are entirely reliant on the
local community, from which we recruit, to help support our soldiers, and I am
pleased that the Carol Concert was enjoyed by all." The Regiment will be hosting a similar event called "Warrington Proms in the Park" on Saturday 13 June 09, 3pm start - look out for further details around the barracks and in the local press. The Charity Carol Concert, to which the community is invited, will, this year, be held on Friday 4 December 2009. 75

applicants receive first-class training and are paid competitive rates for their
time. Call 01925 642839 or go along to the barracks on a Tuesday night 7.30pm -
