All the Fun of the Fair ! June 7, 2009
Posted by jhunter in : Uncategorized , add a commentLast Saturday saw our annual summer fair.The weather was perfect,sunshine all the way.Doors opened at 10am and a steady stream of visitors came to see what was on offer.There was everything from plants(and plant pots!) to homebaking to knitted ipod covers to jewellery to badge making to bouncy castles to recipe books to sumo wrestling! The list is endless.We raised over £1800 which was a brilliant amount.It will be used to develop our playground once the refurbishment has been completed.
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone involved.
