The event started at 10.00 and went on till 14.30, although we had to be on-site earlier to set up the tables in the center.
The turned items that had been given to the club as donations from members took up the charity table, it was very full of different types of projects. Alongside this, we had two further tables which took up the work of six other member turners, in addition to this we had Ian’s wife Kim with her craft cards going under the name of ‘Kimskraft`s’ displaying and selling cards for various occasions.
We had a steady footfall of people during the day coming and going, but not that many buying even on the charity table, signs of the economic climate at present I think.
Thanks go to all members who turned up on the day to add support and encouragement to the crew who were there for the duration of the event. Thanks also go to the members who helped set up the equipment and all those that took it down.
At the end of the day with the charity table sales and donations from members present we were able to hand £105 to James from Mary Stevens Hospice.
