Chris Potts and his team from Chobham Plant Centre laid on a real treat for a number of children sponsored by the Children with Special Needs Foundation.

After a splendid firework display, Father Christmas arrived and with the assistance of Tom O'Connor gave every child a Christmas present.

Tom entertained the families whilst we all enjoyed mulled wine and mince pies, although one little girl was most upset as she was sure she was going to meet Tom Cruise!

Tom then ended a perfect evening by switching on the Christmas lights to the delight of all the children.
