Generous contribution from Drax Power

Riccall Regen has received a cheque for £500 from Drax Power towards the installation of an internal marquee facility. The marquee – The Riccall Regen Big Top – enables the Centre’s sports’ hall to be offered as a luxury venue for wedding receptions, birthday parties, concerts and a wide range of social and business functions. The Big Top will be formally launched at 8pm on Friday 15 May, when local singing legend, Billy Bills, will perform in concert. Tickets are now available at £5 each.

Riccall Regen Chairman, Edward Wilkinson, said he was extremely grateful for the generosity of Drax Power and that the new marquee, coupled with the existing bar and catering facilities, would provide the area with an unique and luxury venue for events, at a price that people can afford. Melanie Wedgbury, Head of External Affairs at Drax Power, said that they hoped that the donation would help towards the continued development and service that Riccall Regen provides for the people in the Selby district.
