Record numbers at Warley Christmas Fayre
The skies were grey but there was plenty to smile about at the Warley Community Association Christmas Fayre on Sat 3 December.
The first part of the Fayre was held in Warley Town School with stalls, tombolo, and activities for children. Atmosphere was provided by the bucket load. The School hall was packed, festive music rang out, gifts were sold, cakes were eaten, prizes were won... To top it all, The St John's Church Song Group sang carols around the piano and Father Christmas made a special visit to see as many children as he possible could.
Father Christmas led the way down Paradise Lane into the village to hang the children's decorations on the splendid village Christmas tree.
Part of the road has been closed so everyone could get a close-up view. The Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress officially switched on the tree lights with a rousing countdown and then, once again, the St John's Church Song Group burst into hearty song, leading the thronging crowd with a few final carols.
The event had meant a long day for the organisers. Cleaning up afterwards was actually quicker than expected though. Maryke Deahl, one of the team said "we had so much help, the School was back to normal in no time". "It gave us time to reflect on the day's events" said event manager Eliana Bailey, "it was so rewarding seeing the community is supporting us and enjoying the day".
