The Undercroft sale on Saturday 5th October raised £611.00 for church funds, and we express thanks for the help received on the day. It was a community event and there was a continuous stream of people coming to look at the displays. We did particularly well with cake sales and the tombola which between them raised £239, and Tina raised £110 for her soft toys and decorative goods. Books, bric-a-brac, and plants all did well and grateful thanks to those who did so much preparation to make the morning a success. Thanks to you all. Chris & Jerry.
