We tried something a bit different for this year's Autumn Fair. All the old favourites were there - the cake stall, the plant stall, a Lucky Dip, Olive's raffle - but we also invited a number of new organisations to take part, so visitors were able to browse around bags and scarves, hand-made cards, embroidery, vintage clothing, Aloe Vera products, beeswax candles and drawings of local scenes. Refreshments were available all day, and the King's Head opposite offered a special £5 lunch menu for the event. Entertainment was also on offer for our younger visitors - face-painting proved very popular, and "Bat the Rat" provided a definite challenge! (Only two came away with badges proclaiming that they'd "batted the rat"!)
A total of over £900 was raised for the church, which is a splendid result. Many thanks to all who helped.

We thoroughly enjoyed it and are please with the amount raised. Thumbs up for next year! Little Dragons Face Painters
Well done for an excellent fair, very well organised and a
very enjoyable occasion. One of the best fairs I have been
to. It was a very profitable fair for me, but not only that the people
were so friendly and a very beautiful church to be in. I hope to be
invited next time. Liz Place (Femme Fatale)
