The DG mans the Rocket bookstall at the Waterloo Bonfire Society Fete in the Paddock on 27 June (more pics of the Fete and at Cliffe Independence Day in the Gallery under 'Rocket Stuff'').

Money makes the world go round and it also makes the Rocket blast off each Autumn!
Each year we have to roll the stone up the mountain again and raise about £6,000 to get the Rocket aloft once more, even though all volunteer time is given free, gratis and for nothing.
For the past couple of years, we have been able to sell donated new books with bargain prices at events such as the above, helping to bridge the gap between sponsorship and the total cost of the broadcast.
