The community really got behind Magical Movie Night fund-raising initiative of the Daylesford Cinema Group. The result was more than $1,000 raised by the community to go towards redevelopment of the cinema in Daylesford.
The Standbridge Hall event was a sell-out. An audience of 50 was expected but hard-working volunteers had to quickly accommodate the 80 who turned up. Sumptuous canapes were produced, as well as popcorn, sandwiches and sausage rolls. Somehow there was more than enough to go around.
Daylesford Cider kindly donated spiced cider which, when mulled, produced a delicious Christmassy beverage. Cellarbrations generously provided beer and wine at a reduced price, enabling a tidy profit to be made.
The grand finale was a visit from Santa who had gifts for all the children attending in his Santa sack.
