News Release 29th January 200540'S CHARITY DANCEMichael Fabricant attended last night's City of Lichfield 'Mayor and Sheriff's 1940's Charity Dance' at Whittington Barracks whose future is currently under review by the Ministry of Defence. Attendees were invited to wear 1940's costume. Michael Fabricant wore his Royal Marines uniform complete with camouflage paint on his face. The Dinner was followed by dancing with music played by the Band of the Prince of Wales Division. The Mayor, Councillor Mrs Gwyneth Boyle, expressed her dismay that Army cuts by the Government will mean that several army musicians from the Band will be made redundant when it is merged with another band. Michael says: "This was an innovative, very different, and fun evening that raised money for the Lichfield Young Carers Association, The St Mary's Centre in Lichfield, Macmillan Cancer Relief and the Tamworth Area Medical Emergency Services. I was glad I was able to support these charities. I am pleased the Barracks were able to help and hope they will long remain a part of Lichfield life." The Ministry of Defence plan to close one of the 5 Army Training Regiment centres in the UK of which Whittington is one.
