Our Summer Fayre result
« on: August 17, 2009, 23:31:30 »
Just to let you know that we took £1,800 at our Summer Fayre last Saturday and it's still going up!
All the money will be divided between Macmillan Cancer Support and the County Air Ambulance.

Thank you  :)
Last year we collected only for the Air Ambulance but this year decided to include Macmillan. 
We invited the Cats Protection League and Swan Rescue to have stalls and they made some money for their funds too.
