….with Santa arriving on steam engine!
Father Christmas will be arriving at the Craft Fayre on a steam engine. It is planned that the steam engine will start from the old Reservoir Inn car park at 10 am, stopping at the Brick Layers Arms about 10.15 and finally arriving at Thornton Community Centre.
Please note = all stalls are taken and there is a waiting list…
We are deeply saddened to announce that after six years our dearest Tim
has finally lost his battle with cancer.
Anyone who knew Tim is very welcome to join us for his Send-off Ceremony.
Date: Tuesday 19th October 2021

Please do visit the Fayre if you can.
19 tables have been booked by Crafters who have been busy creating beautiful and unusual gifts and items.
It will be a great opportunity for some Christmas shopping and to see Father Christmas who will arrive by steam engine.
I am sorry, but all the tables have already been booked.
However, offers of help, cakes, raffle and tombola prizes very welcome.
