Saturday 26th July 2008

The grounds of Myland Parish Halls were alive with the buzz of conversation, the smell of barbecue food and the sound of chinking change on Saturday 26th July, when our first Summer Fair took place in aid of the Myland Parish Halls Modernisation Project.

We had watched the weather forecasts with some trepidation, but the day was hot and sunny, bringing the local community out in force to sample the many stalls set up by every one of the Organisations who meet at the Halls. We chose one of the busiest weekends of the year, as the annual Art Exhibition was  in the Halls and the Flower Festival was taking place in Church. We're pleased we made that decision, as it brought so many friends and colleagues together - and because the result was a whopping £1,005 net profit for the Modernisation Project!

We also held our Grand Draw as the Fair was closing, and that too made a substantial profit of just over £700. We are most grateful to the organisations who donated valuable prizes for the draw, or provided goods to be sold at the Fair. And of course to every one of us who contributed to the £1,700 which brings the refurbishment of the Halls one step closer!

here are some photographs of the Summer Fair.....
