Holly Fair Wistaston Blue and silver colour stall - l-r - Gwyneth Brown and Sylvia Ashley

The annual ‘Holly Fair’ at Wells Green Methodist Church on Brookland Avenue in Wistaston raised more than £1,500, writes Jonathan White.

In the entrance hall, there was a raffle to win a hamper of Fairtrade goods, a competition to win two knitted animals and crocheted items for sale made by 100-year-old church member Olwen Wood.

The stalls included toys, DVDs, books, costume jewellery, a blue and silver colour stall, Traidcraft goods, homemade cakes and Christmas gifts and crafts.

There was a wide variety of refreshments for sale in the café including soup, quiches, rolls, cakes, trifles and jellies.

Teresa Hoper and Myra Wood co-ordinated the food and drinks, and Pat Nott organised the publicity and the stalls.

The event raised £1,545.30 on the day.

A coffee morning has been arranged for Wednesday November 18, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, at Wells Green Methodist Church, to increase this amount even further.

Pat Nott said: “The Holly Fair is an excellent community event, which is held on the first Saturday in November every year.

“Wells Green members are very generous with their giving and without their support, the fair wouldn’t take place.

“It’s a team effort and we very much enjoy working together.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
