Each dressed in costumes of ghouls, ghosts, vampires, zombies and witches visiting both the pier and museum were rewarded with a sweet treat. Hythe Ferry sta , demonic Bob and Kathy the witch, were kept busy throughout the a ernoon with the steady line of excited callers. e same was happening at the Museum where Ann and Derrick were no less busy. As well as the usual Halloween suspects, the Museum was visited by a giant dinosaur and a unicorn. Each took a great interest in the display of Hythe Pier, Train and Ferry exhibits and memorabilia.

Although a relatively small local lawn bowling club, their generous members have succeeded in raising £2,350 for the charity. At the club’s Presentation Evening in October, President Pete handed over a very “large” cheque to John Wingham, the representative from H&IOWAA. John gave an interesting talk about how the Air Ambulance works and explained how the donation would help them to continue funding the development of their new base at Southampton Airport and to keep their three helicopters and various support vehicles active. He said that although the amount raised may seem like a drop in the ocean when considering how much it costs to put just one helicopter in the air annually, every donation, no matter the size, is vitally important in helping to save lives.
