 Arnesby May Fayre, 31 May
We raised a magnificent total of £9,600 this year which will be spent on projects suggested by local organisations.
The organising committee would like to thank the many people who helped with the build up, the day itself and the cleaning up afterwards. The Fayre couldn't go ahead without the considerable efforts of lots of people. Hopefully, in spite of the work, it was an enjoyable day for everybody!
If you have any suggestions or observations, however small, about the day please let one of the organisers know so that we can learn lessons for future years. Jacque Shorrocks, Liza Welton, Graham Middleton, Sue Cooper, Liz Stretton and Terry Emmony.
