The event raised 817.85 which will go towards the Benevolent Fund for the armed forces and committee member and former chairman Gill Masterton commented: "We were very pleased, and considering the awful weather and the number of bazaars being held at the same time in our area, we consider ourselves very lucky."

The fair was a joint members and committee effort and included a wide range of items donated locally.

Gill said: "We ask for donations, and people bring things as well. We had a tombola which was very successful, a raffle and cake sale, jewellery stall, a Guess The Doll competition with a hand-knitted Bob The Builder...a book stall which sold books, children's books, games, jigsaws and dvd's, and we had a bric-a-brac stall. We also had a really lovely card sale this year as well which sold cards for every occasion -

Christmas, birthdays, get well, father's day, mother's day, everything you could need. I think that was very successful as well."
