Cleveleys Christmas Switch On 2024
Unfortunately the day came with a storm of wind and rain, so the Top Club saved the day! Most of the event was held indoors with the clouds parking enough for the official switch on moment. Russell Grant very kindly did the honours, making his first public appearance since his brain tumour op, almost 2 years ago to the day!
