The West Auckland Memorial Community Association, are holding an Autumn Fayre on Saturday 21st October at 1.30pm at the Memorial Hall on Darlington Road, West Auckland.
This is to raise funds for the upkeep of the hall and for the Christmas parties for members and for the adults with learning difficulties who go along every Tuesday for New Age Kurling.
A spokesperson for the organisers said: “We have an excellent tombola stall with one hundred prizes available to win. There’s also bric-a-brac, a book stall, CD’s and DVD’s and a toy stall for the kids.
“We also have a cake stall with locally baked produce, provided by patrons who use the hall.
“In addition, there’s a raffle draw with over twenty prizes donated by local businesses, who always support us, and tea and scones from the kitchen, to keep visitors going.
“There’s also numerous craft stalls, including one with crochet toys and handmade gifts, pegbags and needlecases, another with knitted egg cosies, fabric boxes, bags and brooches, one raising funds for the children’s society, and handmade crafts from the Monteith Craft Group (willing hands).
“In addition, there will be two live performances on the stage in the afternoon.
“There’s a display of hip hop and street dance by the children who come along to the Dynamic Dance School run by Stephanie every Tuesday night. “Then there’s the Zumba Crew, who are adults with learning difficulties from Growing Together West Auckland, choreographed by their instructor Jan.
“This year, admission is free, so why not pop along and join us for the afternoon, and see what we have to offer.”
