Christopher Rawlins Primary School and St. Mary’s Church Fete morning opened to a rain-soaked and rather cold day and so it continued albeit that it became warmer later on midday.
Setting up our stall…
In spite of this cold dismal weather, school children with siblings, their parents, families and villagers and guests poured into the school premises determined to enjoy all the facilities laid on by the School.
We were there with our filled and wrapped jam jars where we were able to put on a stunning display of brightly coloured and beribboned jars, chock-a-block full of all manner of delightful items, with our audience coming back and then again, determined to win one of the lucky tombola jars. Some were lucky enough to win two or three jars, some none despite their best efforts, yet all were kindly disposed to try their luck at our stall.
Hard at work numbering further contributions to our stall….
A lucky player won the last two jars at 2.30 when we were able to close down the stall and hand over our takings to the School, which all of us were delighted to do. We had enjoyed a good day at Christopher Rawlins School who very kindly organised our table and signage and all their kind help was very much welcomed by Diane, Gill and Margaret.
The last three jars waiting to be won……
