Members from the Torquay & District SI had an early start recently as they were attending the annual Cockington Fayre on Wednesday 7th August 2013. The fayre held in the grounds of Cockington Court was the venue for many stalls helping to raise funds for Cockington Church, local and national charities.
President May Hulme, Treasurer Myra Brown and Committee members Veronica Prowse and Cheryl Rider were hoping to raise vital funds for Soroptimist Charities. Members Jasmine Dawkins and Lesley Proctor joined the fund raising team later in the day to help with the very busy book and bric-a-brac stall.
It was a brilliant day, not a cloud in sight, the fayre with all it’s stalls, live music, church bells ringing, fresh food available from the BBQ drew in thousands of people.
The great thing about community events is that they bring people together to have fun and enjoy themselves, while at the same time raising valuable funds to help with our work.
Over £175 was raised at this event which will be donated to much needed charities
