Torquay & SE Devon Branch

The Christmas Craft fair at the Methodist Hall in Totnes on Saturday was very well received . There were lots of different stalls selling things from gorgeous cup cakes to hand made jewellery and more. We had lots of Christmas goods for sale and refreshments,including tea, coffee, soup, mince pies, and fruit cake.

People even started coming in before we were  open and it was very well supported.

We raised an amazing £417.92!

Many thanks to the other stall holders who took part and to our team of staff and volunteers. Well done everyone!

Our Victorian evening on Wednesday the 8th of December was a very cold but DRY event! Last year it poured down and we all got soaked!

We had two stalls with a tombola on one and goods for sale on the other. On the Tombola stall we had a HUGE snow tiger and several people tried several times to win it, to no avail. Then when we were down to our last few tickets, a gentleman came back who had been trying to win it all evening and said” I’ll just have a couple more goes” and on the third go he won it!!! He was delighted and so were we!

All in all we raised a total of £160.57.

Many thanks to all who bought things from the stall and the Tombola, and thanks to all our Volunteers who helped on the night.

See the Herald Express for that week to see a picture of our Branch Chair, Wendy, on the stall with a customer.
