Holbrook Christmas Fair raises £1,550

Many thanks to everyone who attended or helped at our Christmas Fair at Holbrook Village Hall on Saturday 9 November. We raised an outstanding £1550 for our animals.

We had a lovely range of high-quality craft goods. Stallholders included Kat Root Art & Soap, Jules Whalesby Art, Gnarly Oak hand carved wooden items and Cheryl’s Wildlife Photography. The latter donates 10% of sales to the Branch. These makers were joined by more local creators, including animal themed novelties and jewellery, Christmas wreaths and sewn felt gifts.

Animals Asia joined us with their legendary hamper draw, and we had stalls with items from our RSPCA shops, bric-a-brac, jams, and chutneys. Many thanks to Carol, John, Yvonne, Denice and Layla for bringing such great items.

Huge thanks to everyone who made goodies for and served on our popular refreshments stall, especially Jean, Diane, Susanne, Karen, Chloe and Evelyn, and Stephen for his lovely soup.

Our gratitude also goes to Geoffrey, Richard and Helen, who ran the new goods stall, and Stephen and Katie on tombola and Rebecca and Tim for setting out the tables and chairs. Thanks to all who donated prizes and to Sue for promoting the event around the village.
