The Christmas Hamper Draw was held on Wednesday 17th December 2014.

Hamper won by Barbara Renshaw.

Box of Christmas fare by Wendy Hughes.

There were 3 Baskets of Christmas Fare:   No 1 by Brenda Clapp,           No 2 by Sheila Carpenter,     No 3 by Maisie Hand.

Due to generosity of members we had a very great surplus of ‘gifts’, it was therefore necessary to make up extra ‘packages’ thus  Sylvia Geary received Wine and Biscuits, as did Valerie Cox.

The proceeds from this draw (£146.00) plus that from the recent “Sale of Work” Raffles (£122.00) are to be donated to the Highbridge Community Hall Solar Panel Fund.
