All our thanks are extended to Harry and the members of the Craven Accordion band who played a delightful medley of tunes at the Collectable and Craft Fair which was held last Sunday at the Hall. It created a lovely festive feel to the day. The event was so well attended too which is great when there are so many other things happening in the area. Thank you to everyone who comes along to our Fairs, especially all our regular visitors, wonderful to see the friendships which have sprung up through the visits and special thanks to the lovely people who tell us that they really appreciate our wonderful venue. It makes all those voluntary hours seem worthwhile, we appreciate their thanks more than they realise.
