2005 Christmas Fayre and Dance
Wendy Lewis writes
To us few “back-room boys” who make sure that the Christmas Fayre is run
every year, it never ceases to amaze us how the parishioners come up trumps
every year. Each time we worry that the boxes at the back of the church
will remain empty, or perhaps filled with unsaleable rubbish, but we are
always surprised by the quality, and quantity, of the goods left in it.
If only we could thank you all individually, but of course we don’t know
who has left what. From all of us, thank you, thank you, thank you
so much. This year we had so many beautiful gifts to sell, that it was no surprise that we made £2,488.34. Perhaps
the people who attended the fayre were fewer in numbers this year, but they
made up for it by spending their money! We always think that when this
event is over, the Christmas season has really begun!
The
Dance this year was a sell-out, and the “cabaret” was very well-received,
with acts which would have won the “X Factor” hands down. We are hoping
to expand on this idea next year. The total raised from the raffle amounted to £1,995.

Thank you!!
(from the Parish Bulletin of Sunday 4th December)
A big thank
you to all who came along on Sunday and hopefully picked up a few bargains
from the many stalls laden with goodies in the Parish Hall and rooms.
A total of £2,488.34 was raised on the day. Details of each stall’s
takings are given on this page. This bumper sum would not have been possible
without the massive effort put in by hard-working parishioners.
You all know who you are, as you are the dedicated band, which comes up trumps
every year. Without you it would just be impossible to hold this event.
We wish we could mention you all by name but we would like to give a special thank you to Patrick McNulty for his dedicated 
organisation and tireless efforts leading up to and including the day itself.
Many, many thanks!
