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

We need the help of absolutely everyone to make this a success and 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 Wednesday 25th.(note change of day)

4) Help to set up and to tidy away We hope that everyone will come on the Friday night at 7 p.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.

5)***This week's special requests!!***
A) Please add your name to the sign-up sheets (on the notice board) for whatever involvement you can- please don't leave it until the last minute!
B) As the Market attracts many people who do not usually venture into the church, we would like to display as many examples of our activities and groups as possible. If you would like to make a flat display to put up in the hall then please see Clare to discuss size etc, and if you already have a notice board for your group why not take this opportunity to make it look its best, or maybe to give it a Christmas theme?
C) We are looking for a group or family who can run the mulled wine stall. This includes sourcing the mulled wine, which must be non-alcoholic. Please see Clare or Jean if you can help- this stall was a big hit last year.
D) Please continue to think about your costume and especially about if you have any items of clothing that you could lend to others . It was amazing how everyone rose to the challenge last time and it all added to the Victorian atmosphere. Mob caps are available from the FEAT team!
