The Bric-a-brac sale ahead of the Rainbow Fair will now take place on the morning of 12th September. The hall will be cleared immediately afterwards of any items unsold - by trailer to the local tip, or to our homes for "recycling" at the R/Fair for especially appropriate things. It is hoped that this will help in two ways: first, to raise a little extra cash towards the expenses of the Fair, and secondly to enable the prime site in front of the stage to be devoted to the Christmas Food Market.
- Toiletries becomes The Bath Shop
- Cakes, pies etc becomes Christmas Food Market and Biscuit Bar
- Stationery becomes Christmas stationery
- Lucky Dip becomes Santa's Chimney
- Jazzy Jars becomes Christmas surprises
- Tombola becomes Christmas Pantry Tombola
- Preserves becomes Mainly marmalade and pickles
- Bulbs becomes Gardeners' Corner/World
Several members and friends have already started collect non-perishable items for these stalls, and we want everyone to enjoy this busy day and offer their help. Please contact one of this year's organisers - or we may contact you first! - and the names of the stallholders will be in the August magazine.
The organisers have designated 10% of the profit from the 2009 Rainbow Fair be given to the local Alzheimer's Society.
Wish us well in this venture and please give us your support!
