The Dutch House pub on Sidcup Road brought some Christmas cheer by raising more than £2,500 for Clowns in the Sky in an auction before Christmas.

The pub made Clowns in the Sky its nominated charity for 2005. Over the year the regulars at the pub have given unstintingly through raffles, collection boxes and other activities.

We would like to say a very big thank you to Bob and Sara Podmore who manage the pub for all that they have done over the year and the support they have given us.
