Our annual Christmas Fayre took place in our Church Hall on Saturday 26th November, with a good attendance from the village browsing our tombola, bric a brac and jam & cake stalls, with special contributions from Baby Play with a stall for mothers and their children.
South Wingfield History Group came along with a selection of photos of the church in times of recent and further past, and interesting articles on Rev Harry Watts, and the Lych Gate and Wingfield Station. Old photos of the church and churchyard would be welcomed by the group for their collection, if you have any ( which will be copied and returned) see Carol & Geoff Brown.
We were graced with an appearance from the man of the Season, dressed in his usual Red suit.Our fair team(!) did a super job of setting up, and providing the refreshments - soup & rolls and a selection of puddings. Thanks go to everyone who gave their time and effort into making our Fayre a successful event.
Our Raffle raised over £200, with the star prize of a hamper won by Ann Turner, and 30 other prizes collected gratefully by those others present. Our best wishes and congratulations go to Ann for her wedding on Wednesday.
We are very grateful to all those who gave contributions to the stalls, especially for the jams, chutneys and curds, and offered their time and efforts for the day.
With the raffle, stalls, lunches and a few donations on the day, we managed to raise just over £900, which will go towards the upkeep of the church.
We hope to see you all at our Christmas services and our Carol Concert on the 16th December at the Church at 7:30pm - see our other notice for more details.
