From http://www.bed-and-breakfast-granada.com/real-Spain.html The Padul Players helped raise money for the poor people of the area. They organised a Carol Concert Evening to raise money. Barbara Wilkes was the MC.
302 euros and 50 cents were raised by selling entrance tickets, raffling gifts and accepting donations.
