Christmas Fayre
The Christmas Fayre raised £ 630 net. Thanks to all the friends who put in so much effort before and on the day.
It was noted that there is still a shortage of help on the evening and this should be addressed next time.
A list of takings per stall was discussed and will be used to decide options for next Christmas fayre. It was noted that there was stock left over from the fayre that will be used during other fund raising initiatives.
