Shrewsbury based caravan and leisure company Salop Leisure have generously supplied the Light Fantastic project with essential items to get the exhibition on the road.

Managing Director Mark Bebb said "I am delighted to support this local project, we have a commitment to be energy efficient at Salop Leisure and it's good to help others to do the same."

The Light Fantastic Roadshow, operated by Marches Energy Agency, has been touring the West Midlands giving away low energy bulbs and talking to people about energy efficiency.

Project Manager, Sarah Meredith said "We've given away over 12,000 low energy bulbs so far. Over their lifetime that will save 1,756 tonnes of CO2 and nearly £750,000 off people's electricity bills and replacement lights. That's just a month of events, so we are really making an impact with the project."

Energy company E.ON are also supporting the project, donating low energy bulbs from leading manufacturer Megaman and Powerdown units to help householders reduce their energy consumption.

A grant from Awards for All has allowed completion of the exhibition and the Shropshire Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund has paid for a number of events this summer at local shows and venues. The next events in Shropshire to be visited by the Light Fantastic trailer are the Oswestry and Minsterley Shows on August 2^nd and 9^th.
