Christmas Fair a great Success
Thank you and well done
Our parish Christmas Fair, which took place last weekend at St Margaret’s Church Hall, raised a grand total of £2,160.79 (details inside). This is a tremendous amount. Thanks you to all who helped organise the Fair, who worked on the stalls, who gave so generously of their time, skills and money, and to all who supported the Fair in any way.
Is it you?
The fabulous Christmas Cake and bottle of Champagne are, at the time of writing, still unclaimed.
The winning ticket is a yellow ticket number 119 and is believed to have been sold at a Saturday evening Mass.
Please check your ticket numbers! If you believe you have the winning ticket (the security number will need to be checked) please contact Maureen Dowd at fundraising@stclare.org.uk.
