SUMMARY:An Evening of Clairvoyance with Chel Timmins
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Birmingham. Chels’ abilities as a medium started as a child and followed a family tradition with tales of Granny Alice and her abilities to read the tea leaves. A regular at pychic fayres and the resident medium with the Monmouth Healers at the Annual Steam Rally here in Abergavenny. \nLife took an about turn 18 months ago when with a very serious cancer diagnosis\, having to have a laryngectomy\, with the possible prospect of never being able to work as a platform medium again. Thanks to an amazing medical team Chel is now back working demonstrating the power of positivity\, grit and determination. A true inspiration to all who are struggling with any kind of adversity in their lives. \nThis show is dedicated to raising money to help those in a similar position. \nThank you for your support. \nJustine Johnson – Event Organiser.
