...held a two day Craft & Gift Market at the end of November 2005 and raised a staggering £10,000 for charity. Mandy Gosling, secretary for Harpenden Ladies Circle said, "It is always lots of fun, lots of work but very rewarding! On the day there was a lovely pre-Christmas atmosphere with over 50 professional stalls selling a delightful range of high quality Christmas gifts, jewellery, stationery etc. The cost of the Hall hire was covered by stall fees. Then from the £1.50 Entrance Fee, a café (run by Circlers selling homemade cakes/soup etc.) and from a Tombola (prizes donated by local businesses) we raised £10,000. The event was run by Circle, with hands-on help from Round Table and Tangent. This is now an annual event in Harpenden town’s calendar and the monies this year were donated to DebRA £4,300, Asthma UK £3,400 and The Daylight Club £2,300 (a local club for disabled people). |
