Dickensian Christmas Market - Saturday 28th November 10-1pm

We need the help of absolutely everyone to make this a success and from today there are lists in the vestibule for you to sign to indicate how you can help. Below is an indication of some of the ways you can get involved.

1) Contributions to the stalls
Toiletries are needed for this stall - to Marilyn Moore or Margaret Barnes. Plants, Bulbs, Cacti needed - (bring on the Friday night). Cakes to sell - (bring on the Friday night). Home made sweets needed - please sign the list if you are willing to make these and see Wendy for a recipe.

2) The tea rooms
Please sign the list to provide scones (fruit and cheese), sweet mince pies, and larger dinner-plate size apple pies. Please offer to be a waiter/waitress or to help in the kitchen.

3) Stall builders
We will be providing a simple wooden frame for each stall to be decorated by the stall holders. Please sign up if you can help with this and with clearing the church on the evening of Thursday 26th.

4) Help to set up and to tidy away
We hope that everyone will come on the Friday night at 7p.m. and help set up, but just as importantly, help will be needed on the Saturday afternoon to get the church back ready for Sunday worship. If you specifically volunteer with this it will be an enormous help to the FEAT group.

Please keep talking about the Christmas Market and inviting people along. We need everyone to be at Church on the day making people feel at home and if you could specifically stand at the door and welcome people for a short time, please sign the list for that too. Last but not least, please be looking for the outfit you wore last year. It was amazing how everyone rose to the challenge last time and it all added to the Victorian atmosphere. Any ladies needing a mob-cap please speak to Gillian Gardner.
