CHRISTMAS FAIR AT ARARAT
Our table did well. The Committee thanks all those who helped. We took £200 towards our charity account, making the total amount nearly £2000.
Unfortunately, due to lack of space, we could not display all our items for sale, so we have brought them along today. Anything not sold will go to the City Hospice Charity Shop.
ACWW
After an appeal to members at the main meeting, £66.83 was raised. The Committee agreed to make this up to £100.
