The newly refurbished church of St. Lawrence in Pudsey rang out with happy voices when the String of Beads choir gave their repertoire of popular songs. 

The audience of Rotarians and their friends joined in the singing after the refreshment interval and everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion and the surroundings.

The event was organised by Geoffrey Barton and the Aquabox project team to raise funds to purchase the boxes, each one capable of purifying 1100 litres of contaminated water.

 The Aquabox Team have a 5 year target of 100 boxes. With this evenings surplus of £375.00 they have already raised enough money to buy 36 boxes within  the first ten months  The boxes are filled with 'welfare items' by club members and other volunteer groups.
