They also helped to raise around 800 towards the long-standing goal of replacing the current village hall.

A structural survey in 2007 revealed it had just five years left as a usable building.

Plans are well advanced for a new community hall on Murrell's Field. Part of the open space was used for the May Fair.

BLADE chairman Janet Dalgleish said: "The fair went very well. It is one of our regular events which is growing every year. Hopefully, it will get bigger again next year."

The traditional attractions included a range of stalls from the likes of the local WI, Brownies and Rainbows and mother and toddler group.
