Many thanks go to all who came along and supported the Annual Christmas Fair at the Local & Family History Centre on Saturday.
Whether you came along to visit, help on a stall, made or donated mince pies or gave raffle prizes, thank you, it was very much appreciated.
You’ll be pleased to know it raised approximately £200.00 on the day.
Everyone who attended, very much enjoyed the mulled drinks and mince pies and it was also a lovely social occasion with members of the Society and the public.
