Members from the Torquay & District SI had an early start recently as they were attending the annual Cockington Fayre on Wednesday 5th August 2015. The fayre held in the grounds of the historical Cockington Court was the venue for many stalls helping to raise funds for Cockington Church, local and national charities.
Committee members Barbara Soames, Gaynor Raisey,and Veronica Prowse were joined by family members and friends 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 tombola and grab a duck 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 £250 was raised at this event which will be donated to much needed charities.
