St Edmund’s Spring Fair 15th May 2010 : 10am – 3pm

Please start thinking about giving your donations and lending your support NOW! Have a look at the stalls below and see what you can give. We are very grateful for your donations, but please, please, only donate goods in a saleable condition. We cannot sell jumble, bric-a-brac, electrical items or out of date perishables at the fair. In the past we have made numerous trips to charity shops or the dump because of goods we could not sell. Please leave your donations at the back of church after all Sunday masses or drop them into the presbytery.

Canon Jack’s bottles	Bottles, (sealed/unopened), needed to make this stall the usual crowd-puller!
Raffle	We will be raffling a luxury hamper on the day so suitable items for this as well as any other quality raffle prizes would be much appreciated.
Tombola	Let us have any unwanted gifts, new small toys etc for the guides tombola team.
Toiletries	Any (unused and unopened) toiletries, perfumes and small hotel and airline freebies would be great.
Jewellery	Any jewellery and small ornaments would be very welcome.
Cakes and produce, (jams, chutneys etc.)	Please do some baking for us before the day. We would love to do another cake raffle and ‘guess the weight’ competition so extra special cakes for these two would be wonderful!
Children’s room	Sweets, small cakes and prizes for a children’s raffle are all needed.
Toys	Games, clean toys, and children’s books. Please check jigsaw pieces and games are intact.
Books	Books, CDs and DVDs, (no videos please, they don’t sell!) - pack these in strong bags or boxes.
Plants	We will be having a plant stall again this year, terracotta pots and potted plants (especially flowering plants) would be very welcome. If you are visiting the garden centre, maybe you could pick up an extra tray of small plants for us?
Stationery	Stationery, cards, gift bags etc.
