Autumn Fayre raises £540!

Our Autumn Fayre was held today in the Sports Hall of Ysgol Gyfun Gŵyr and raised a magnificent £540. The Fayre was opened by Kevin Johns of Swansea Sound who got us off to a great start and a pleasant afternoon was passed which included browsing the stalls, sampling the cakes from the cake stall and having a nice cup of tea!

Very well done to everyone who was involved in organising the Fayre: publicity, donating items, serving on the stalls and clearing up afterwards. It was nice to see so many of the local community turning out to support the cause :)

Here are some photos of the day:

Fayre Approaching

Our next event is an Autumn Fayre at the Welsh School (Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr) on October 18th. We're getting everything ready now - if anyone can help out serving behind a stall for a couple of hours, or has any books etc to donate, contact Gaynor on the Facebook group. And of course, don't forget to come along on the day! Kevin Johns from Swansea Sound will be opening the Fayre and there will be lots of interesting stalls, hot dogs, tea and stuff for the kids. Should be a pleasant Saturday afternoon out!
