The Sutton on Sea “Old Fossils” Gentlemen’s Club came up trumps once again, providing yet again another seventeen foot Christmas tree to grace the roundabout at the top end of the High Street. The tree which can be seen from anywhere in the High Street was the focal point for the 2007 Victorian themed Late Night Shopping organised by the club. The evening proved to be an overwhelming success, not only for the stalls holders, shops, and charities, but for the hundreds of shoppers who attended the event.

The twenty gallons of mulled wine provided by the club went down well with the shoppers as did the forty eight pounds of hot roasted chestnuts. No charge was made for either, but a number of those partaking of these delights did give voluntary donations to the club.
The shop keepers entered the spirit of the evening, many handing out free wine and mince pies etc., to those who entered their shop.
In all eighteen charities were represented on the night. All of them said how well they had done in raising lots of money for their particular charity.

The W.I. choir and the Hand Bell ringers entertained many of the shoppers in the Bacchus Hotel. The Christmas music played thoughout the event seemed to raise everyones spirits.
