CONGRATULATIONS seems an understatement for the tremendous result of fundraising at the annual fete held in Hollybush Church Room last Saturday.

A total of £2,302 was raised. Putting out all those marvellous notice boards certainly paid off. This was surely the best and most supported fete ever. The stalls were positively groaning but punters soon cleared them and went home with bargains.

The draw, with prizes donated by shopkeepers from Ledbury and in the locality, was well supported. We are indebted to the local traders who turn up trumps for us every year. 1st prize - £50 Ann Halett, 2nd prize - Hamper Billy Howells, 3rd prize - Whisky Andrea. The skittles results: Male section - Vivyn, Female section - Jo Dobson, Children - Sophie and Harry.

Our brand new auctioneer (Mike) was superb, with many items on offer this resulted in £176.50 being raised. Well done Mike, you know you've got this job for life. Can we be cheeky and appeal for items for next year? This was a combined effort of a lot of people. Well done.
