All Saints success

It was undeniably grey and gloomy outside but all that was forgotten as visitors settled in for a cosy couple of hours bargain hunting and a chat over a drink and biscuit.

The event was well attended, as Derek Chamberlain confirmed as he collected entrance fees at the door.

He said: "It has been very successful - there have been more people in today than expected."

Organiser Pat Cooper, of the fundraising committee, commented: "We do get quite a few in - they come in early, because they think they will find a bargain...then most of them stay all morning. We have a lot of regulars who come every time we advertise the coffee morning. This is to raise funds for the church - it is expensive to keep a church going these days."
