Local stars Ely Outdoor Sports Association (EOSA) feature in the Calor Gas 12 Days of Christmas video.

It comes as earlier this year, the association, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, was delighted with a new kitchen that a successful bid to the Calor Community Fund secured.

The kitchen is used by members of the hockey, rugby and tennis clubs for their team teas as well as for their social events.

The bar and social area is also available for hire by the local community and with the new kitchen and has a sound system in the social area for events.

To help inject some Christmas spirit to local communities across the nation, Calor created the festive video focusing on the many different projects its annual funding scheme has helped over the past two years.

The aim of the Calor Rural Community Fund is to give off-grid communities the chance to gain grants for projects that will improve local life.
