What a wonderful day we had last Saturday. We had lots of help with the stalls, some really great stalls and lots of people to come and help us raise the money. We had toys and games stalls, a big Christmas stall (thanks to Olive) a scrummy cake stall, tombola, chocolate tombola (a great favourite) a raffle (natch) and various charity Christmas card stalls. We also served teas and coffees with cakes and mince pies. We thought it wasn't really appropriate of a Methodist Church to encourage children to gamble, so any child who had a go on the tombola stalls was given a small prize every time. I think we shall continue to do this.
We made a whopping £799.82, which has since risen to over £800, and I think we shall have a bit more to come.
The Traidcraft stall took £113.55 and the Christmas cards for Candlelighters took £89.50, which is in addition to the above amount - a really excellent results.
Every penny made on the Christmas Fair is going to India, to be taken there by Keith, our minister, in January. So nothing at all will go in admin. fees.
Very many thanks to all who came and supported us in any way.
