There was also a wide range of age groups in attendance and club member Evelyn Oliver said that a number of teenage men were also out bargain hunting.

She said: " They were looking to buy hats and we sold them a trilby and a Christmas hat - then they bought a game of draughts which they said they were going to take to the beach to play!"

She added: "It was brilliant well attended day."

RAFA Chairman Len Oliver thanked club members for their donations and said they raised 276 for club funds.
