Christmas Fayre 2023
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who helped with this year’s Christmas Fayre. To all of the Rodings staff members who helped with enterprise stalls and put up with us using their classrooms, to Mr Partridge, Mrs Paget and Mr Raraty for all their help in the run up to the event and on the day, to Mrs Scott and the Rodings Gallery team for helping with the turkeys and allowing us to use the kitchen. To Ms Wardle for all your help and the office team for letting us invade your space! To Great Garnetts for donating the turkeys and sausage meat, to Mr Knight for donating Robert the Carrot, to Libby Stratton for creating and donating the amazing Christmas Cake, to Little Art Garden Centre for donating the ‘barrel’ for our barrel of booze, to the Co-Op in Great Dunmow for donating the mince pies, to Toy Box Saffron Walden for donating toys, to all the businesses who donated raffle prizes and to Town Farm for supplying us with such amazing Christmas Trees! To our incredible Friends committee who not only worked their socks off on the day but also in the weeks of planning beforehand, and not forgetting Richard for delivering all the trees! To our amazing Friends helpers who turned up, often with family members in tow, to roll up their sleeves and help, especially Tory Foster and the extended Foster family for creating such a magical grotto, the giant Christmas tree sign and numerous other tasks! And finally to each and every one of you who came along..….we hope to have raised around £3,800 which is just INCREDIBLE!
We are so very lucky to be supported by so many brilliant people, the Christmas Fayre really demonstrates the very best of Rodings and we’re so grateful to be a part of it. So THANK YOU! What a fantastic start to the festive season!!
