St Mary's Christmas Fair

Despite the snow overnight which most people though would prevent people from venturing out of the house, we had a great Christmas Fair. There were the usual stalls, Luxury Hamper Raffle, Christmas Boutique, Chocolate Tombola, Chocolate Fountain, books and bric-a-brac, crafts etc. All this plus the Fair - Fayre (cafe really). We were entertained by Phillip on the Piano, plus some of the junior students came from the Keyboards class at the local Music school and played a few Christmas tunes for us. The official opening was at 11am, but as always, visitors were arriving at 10.30 even before some of the tables were set up and it all ended at about 3pm. Publicity is the key to all successful events and we did have a banner up (and down a few times due to wind) for a couple of weeks, plus we borrowed an 8ft Inflatable Snowman which was placed outside to attract the attention of the passing public.


Now its over, we had better start planning the Spring Fair!!!!! Leave it until after Christmas eh?


Have a Happy Christmas from all those 
at St Mary's and St David's
