An amazing day when we had loads of fun and raised over £1,000 for the Salvation Army ‘Homeless at Christmas’ Appeal. We had a variety of stalls with the Brownies and St Giles Hospice having a table each, the Soroptimists having loads more! The face painting was brill as you can see in the photo, Jackie’s flowers were fab, the bottle tombola was very popular as was the bric-a-brac stall. The book stall and jewellery did well and the ‘cork game’ is super. Guess the name of the doll and guess the weight of the cake were well received and both prizes won. Refreshments were served with style and efficiency – a heady combination!!
As you can see, one or two of us were persuaded outside as our girths didn’t fit inside!! The people of Lichfield were generous as always for this cause and put lots of cash into the collection buckets. It was worth being laughed at as Tweedledum and Tweedledee as Father Christmas worked his magic with the younger passersby!!
