A huge thank you to Alison Anscombe, Laura Noble and their dedicated team of helpers for the amazing Christmas Fayre organised last weekend for our benefit. An outstanding £3350 was raised for our funds! Together with the bag packing money raised the previous weekend we will be using this to pay our (large!) insurance bill in the new year as well as providing new equipment for the Friday evening meetings, and updating our storage arrangements to make setting up and clearing away a lot quicker. Thank you so much to everyone who helped out.<p>

Our lost property store is increasing again! Any clothing left behind at meetings or events is usually put online at our gallery. Please click <a href="http://nmyouth.smugmug.com/Other/Lost-property">here</a> to see if you recognise anything and if so contact Michele via the instructions on the page. Anything not collected after a couple of weeks gets donated to charity.
