CHERITON Fitzpaine's Parish Hall Market was busy as usual, with customers perusing the many stalls and enjoying the food provided, all by volunteers from the Hall Committee.

The well-stocked cake table was presided over by Megan and Andy Richards, whose children, Millie, Ned and Hall were doing a roaring trade.

Millie and Ned are raising money to fund their school trip to Sri Lanka in July.

The trip consists of a community project, wildlife and trekking.

Along the way, they will learn about the geography, language, history and culture of Sri Lanka.  They need to raise £500 and on Saturday, their stalls raised £300.

The Sale, which included a raffle presided over by Brenda Fowler, raised £400 for Hall funds.

The next event organised by the Hall Committee will be on Saturday, July 8, when there will be a Bacon Bap Breakfast and a display of photography.  Meanwhile, the Hall, which has a large carpark and safe grassy area for children is available to hire: contact Mr Roy Clayton on 01363 866118 or email: [email protected]  for further information.
